Hi all.

Just a quick hello.

As a child I loved to lie on the grass and watch the universe rotate above me. More often then not, I would be flying around amongst the planets and stars that I could see.
I read all I could from the Encyclopaedias that we had lying around the house on space, stars, planets (other than Earth), rockets and much more. But then I hit puberty and most of my brain cells went to sleep. “Anyway”, I kept telling myself, “you have to be rich to buy a telescope.”

It wasn’t until years later, after two and a half decades in the Defence Force, that my interest in the stars was renewed. My new boss (and friend) has shown me that the hobby is not as expensive as I thought. You can spend as much as you want, or as much as the wife with let you.

I said this was just a quick hello, so I will end this here. I hope to talk to some (or all) of you sooner or later on other threads.

Buy for now!
