Hello.
Tonight I wish to go outside and look through my 14"Meade sct gps. Am I bragging, yes!
I asked my bud to come over though he had other things to do and help me bring it outside.
This thing weighs 170 pounds. I have a table set up for my computer and ccd.
It is an unusual clear night and the wind is negligent.
We went over to this persons house and I asked him to-please-turn off his spot lights. I told him why and he told me to Foff.

RETRIBUTION!!

You explained why, nicely, and he told you off?

People are really getting to be d-bags to anyone and everyone they can these days.

We have a 14" meade, it stays out on theb ack patio setup under a cover, keeps the optics at the right temperature.

I'm up in the east hills, but we get a lot of light pollution from San Jose.

Yes.
Its not everyday I ask for good photos.
I am always a gentleman, and I found out that many dont undersand how serious this hobby can be to some.

Why did he have his lights on?

What words did you actually say to ask him? Was it in person or on the phone? When you asked, did you invite him and his family over for a look through your scope?

Have you ever invited them over? Have you generally been friendly towards them since you and they have been neighbors?
