    api.update_status('Lets speaking (take pictures) about the cosmos! #astronomy #amateur')

    cam = Camera(1)
    disp = Display(title='MyTelescopeSpeaks')

    while disp.isNotDone():
        img = cam.getImage()
        # scales the image, my webcam was a crappy one so this is a must to make the image bigger!
        img = img.scale(640, 480)

        # when you click with the right mouse button! POST THAT IMAGE ON TWITTER! HA!
        if disp.mouseRight:
            img.save('myTelescopeSpeaks.png')
            img.drawText('Posting on twitter...')
            with open('myTelescopeSpeaks.png', 'r') as photo:

                api.update_with_media(sendPic, status='Check this image #astronomy #amateur => ')
