No, no I mean "Rocket Boy" - you see I have a little 1 year old daughter who keeps me young <?xml:namespace prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" /><v:shapetype id=_x0000_t75 stroked="f" filled="f" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" o:preferrelative="t" o:spt="75" coordsize="21600,21600"><v:stroke joinstyle="miter"></v:stroke><v:formulas><v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"></v:f></v:formulas><v:path o:connecttype="rect" gradientshapeok="t" o:extrusionok="f"></v:path><v:imagedata o:href="http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/images/smilies/nerd2.gif" src="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\ANDREW~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\ msohtml1\01\clip_image001.gif"></v:imagedata></v:shapetype>and on my toes.....<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com[img] /><o:lock aspectratio=[/img]</o:lock></v:shapetype><v:shape id=_x0000_i1025 style=" /><o:p></o:p>

I also have:

a 3 year old boy<o:p></o:p>
a 5 year old girl<o:p></o:p>
a 7 year old girl<o:p></o:p>
a 9 year old girl<o:p></o:p>
a 10 year old boy<o:p></o:p>
a 12 year old son<o:p></o:p>
and a 14 year old teenage daughter.<o:p></o:p>

That's 8 (and all from the same mum) in case you're wondering.<v:shape id=_x0000_i1026 style="WIDTH: 29.25pt; HEIGHT: 11.25pt" alt="" type="#_x0000_t75"> <v:imagedata o:href="http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/images/smilies/rofl.gif" src="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\ANDREW~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\ msohtml1\01\clip_image002.gif"></v:imagedata></v:shape><o:p></o:p>

Now you don't think an "Old Rocket" can do that <v:shape id=_x0000_i1027 style="WIDTH: 24pt; HEIGHT: 19.5pt" alt="" type="#_x0000_t75"><v:imagedata o:href="http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/images/smilies/cool12.gif" src="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\ANDREW~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\ msohtml1\01\clip_image003.gif"></v:imagedata></v:shape>and keep up, do you?<o:p></o:p>

When we have an astronomy night it's like our own star party..... lol<o:p></o:p>

Actually I fly model Rockets and the kids suggested the nickname to use for this forum.<o:p></o:p>

Thanks dude,<o:p></o:p>

Cheers.<o:p></o:p>

Welcome "Rocket Boy", great brood you have there. You have more members in your family than some astronomy clubs I know
I know.... "The Rockets Astronomy Club", you could register it as Inc, apply for grants ....
Don't listen to all those other Rabid Dobbers, you have a a great SCT .... I'm sure you won't want one of those 16" dobs when they come out

Hi Rocket Boy,
Glad to meet you, and welcome to the madhouse.

By the way guys, instead of getting him to buy a Dob, why not talk him into buying a couple of Naglers, so you can borrow them off him.

Registering and becoming inc.!!! - I'll have to look into that.......

I do love that SCT "gaa_ian" although I wouldn't say no to 16" dob either

<FONT color=black><FONT size=2>Ok Slice,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com[img] /><o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></P><P style=[/img]
Here's my collection.
<o:p></o:p>

First image:<o:p></o:p>

There's the Apollo 11, The Mongoose, Space Cruiser, AstroCam,
The Wizzard, The Yankee, White Lightning and The UFO.<o:p></o:p>

Second Image: Standing up including launch pad.<o:p></o:p>

Third Image: My son A.J. with the Apollo 11 Rocket.<o:p></o:p>

I'm not sure what you mean by style. I just use the engines that are recommended for these usually C class. With the little rockets I can get an estimated 1800 feet alt.<o:p></o:p>

I am going to build a 6 foot one soon which uses D size !<o:p></o:p>

Cheers<o:p></o:p>
