New atronomical tartan

[fluter]

Ooh. :^{

I dunno but here's your kilt pin. click through for sticker-shock... it's diamonds and 14K gold.

Perhaps more like one of these

Hmmm I'll bet one could commission a buckle from Tyger Forge or another of our intrepid artisans.

What about Orion's Belt. ;-)

Sold separately. Made of leather. Use with your sporran.

And I agree with Mark about the colors in M42 and envy his 16-inch ... telescope, that is. (Get your mind out of the gutter!) Best I had was a 12-inch Dobsonian.

Nice design but I have to ask - why? I know that I'm a traditionsalist but honestly, a tartan to honour a group of stars? What next, one for Alpha Centauri or how about my favourite fruit. If we continue to go down the 'tartan for everything' route we will completely devalue its historical significance. There are now well over 8,000 tartans with many more being designed each year but why? Most will never be woven so what's the point!

Oh thank you Peter! I have wondered about this for a while now and whilst I suppose we all have things dear to our hearts, do we really need all these new tartans?

Just wondering.
