I can prove it here. Take a look. It appears that he is observing the moon and is probably dictating his observations to Wally.... kind of like William Herschel did with Caroline.

I have various telescopes that I'm going to be mounting on a celestron CGEM mount. This is my first seriuos equatorial mount. What kind of dovetail system does the mount have? I don't have the mount with me yet so not sure what I'll need and the literature is vague. I'll be mounting a 6" mak/cas, TeleVue Pronto, Sky-Watcher Refractor etc. What dovetail bars etc. would you advise and where should I get them?

Thanks for any advice.

I just saw the show again and here's the actual dialogue:

Wally: Hey, what are you lookin' at now, Beave?

Beaver: The moon. Ya know, Wally, the only thing I recognize up there is the moon.

Wally: Well, what did you expect to see for $16.98, the signs on the planets?

Beaver: I guess not.

Moral of the story: I guess that Beaver learned his lesson about the quality of Dime Store Telescopes. He should have saved more money by selling water, or painting a fence, or selling perfume door to door, or baby sitting Chucky, or charging people to spit off of a bridge, or raking more leaves to buy that Criterion 6" f/8 Dynascope.
