Back then, for a little while anyway, my nickname was "Max Headroom." It wasn't until later that I acquired the nickname "Quasar," which became "Citizen Quasar" on the internet because there were already too many "Quasars." While many people think my nickname "Quasar" is short for "QUAsi-StellAr Radio object," I was actually nicknamed after a television.

Yep, my family had that exact TV in the early to mid 1970's.

A further bit of trivia about my internet moniker:

I was sitting there trying to figure out what to add to “Quasar” to distinguish it from all the other “Quasars” on the internet, most of them “Quasar” followed by a number. “I Quasar”? “Me Quasar?" An associate was there assisting me in hooking up my computer and getting on the inernet and he suggested “Citizen Quasar” and I went with that.

This guy used to brag that one of his almost-direct-line male ancestors was the last person ever to be burned at the stake. AND they burned him twice because he got a last minute pardon the first time.

I would mock this sometimes as we were more just acquaintances than friends and he would sometimes intentionally get on my nerves and I would tell him, “I understand why your ancestor was burned at the stake...twice.”
:evil:

Since "Citizen" is also a type of watch, your code name could be "Watch TV." :)

'Good one. Thanks.

As for "Max headroom," I was at a keg party once and had w-a-a-a-y too many beers and nobody could get me to shut up so people started calling me that. Two or three months latter they finally stopped.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel.   They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life.   I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at.  You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do!  I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them.  SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest.  I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
