Hi all.

Had to share this with you! My 6yo daughter (who is very creative) asked me last night what I would like for my birthday today.

I said I wanted a new focuser for my telescope (a JMI EV1nm is on my wish list). Jane looked at me thoughtfully, smiled and then disappeared.

This morning, I was woken up to the piece of equipment in the photo below. While not a JMI (or even a focuser for that matter), you have to smile at her ability to create this. :love:

Not to be outdone, my 8yo son decided I needed a new scope too. I believe this is a refractor!
