Now young bird, listen here, you have been a member since january and since star camp you have posted nearly 100 posts of you 289. This amount of quality tips and first rate answering of question has seriously taken away from ken and i spamming!

Anyone would think that this is a forum dedicated to astronomy, the way you have been talking about telescopes and planets etc!!!!
