What's on everyones Xmas present list?

[lineout]

I'll start:

TV Ethos
Meade Ultrawedge
Orion filter wheel

I'm sure there will be more to come.

Cheers

[sejanus]

13mm ethos as soon as bintel gets more :)

[[1ponders]]

To win lotto so I don't have to worry about xmas lists ever again :D



But failing that an observatory. ;)

[MortonH]

Maybe a low-profile focuser for my Dob so I can use my Lumicon filter holder for viewing Mars.

And if there's any money left over, a HEQ5 Pro to stop Mars drifting out the field of view. :P

[mlcolbert]

I wish it was the APPQ 130, but that will a wait yet until around March!:sadeyes:

[janoskiss]

I'll take a Burgess BV24 binoviewer thanks.

[kljucd1]

Turkish Delight Chocolate, ummm . . . that'll about do it.

Oh, and Cheryl says the tent I got to replace the one my dogs chewed up counts as a Chrissy Prezzie too :P

And watch my kids faces when they open thier prezzies. That's the best part :thumbsup:

[erick]

The ability to only need an hour's sleep a night from now on!


Oh, and a DSLR :prey: but our 23 year old fridge is looking decidedly unhealthy - I think my DSLR is on the backburner for a year :sadeyes:

[Lee]

[norm]

Cure for Malaria....
Feed starving children....

Ok, Compound slide mitre saw, LB12, lotto, lotto, new cordless drill.:P

[casstony]

Had you considered fitting a barlow element to the nose of the filter holder to change its focus position? Some barlow elements have the same thread as filters.

[ballaratdragons]

Id really love a 350D.

Pfffttt! yeah riiiiight! I'll be lucky to get my Turkish Delight chocolate :lol:
Especially after the tent episode, then losing my glasses (I get my new ones this week :) ).

[astro_nutt]

A few cool, clear nights over Summer on my nights off would be nice!..other than that..a Ha filter!!

[OneOfOne]

My wife was going to buy me a mySky, but I bought one as soon as they arrived, much to her dismay. Now I have to think of something else...

[rogerg]

Digital focus counter for my Meade SCT
AOE 20x80T's
One of: Meade SWA 5000 6.7, 8.8 or TeleVue 7mm Nagler
1.25" flip mirror

.. and the the non-astro stuff :)

Will be happy if I get one of the above, not expecting more than one :)

[ving]

macro flash ring of some description :)

[Omaroo]

All I want is TIME to build my bino's.... so hopefully the break will give me that.

[astronut]

A Red Ferrari with Blonde Seat Covers!!!:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[ving]

:rofl:

[Omaroo]

Ask...and ye shall receive John..... :whistle:

[ving]

[Omaroo]

Gotta admit I was quick though! :scared:

[prova]

I'll settle on a 18.5" Obsession UC with an Argo Navis and ServoCAT thankyou very much ..

[Ric]

Nice one Chris, that made my day. :rofl::rofl::rofl::thumbsup:

[GeoffW1]

Hi,

Well I don't know what I'm getting for Xmas, but I am thinking of giving my wife a OIII filter :D

Cheers

[Astroman]

I'd be happy as a pig in **** if I could get Registar the full version.

[fringe_dweller]

Hi Geoff, looks nice, and reasonable price as well :) I like the blondies/maple fretboards ;) still cant bring myself to buy a git without playing it first, lol, altho I know plenty of happy people that have done so from the net. :screwy:
Unless of course it was a custom shop or anniversary strat, when you know it is definitely fine all over.
Even after fender took it back over in 80's, they still had a bad hit and miss with the necks, I'm told. a G&S or a quality cheap 80's japanese lawsuit job would be nice too. decision decisions :lol:

thanks for link!
cheers

[Astro78]

Wish for others to step up and each of us push just one bright kid into the possibilities of his contribution to the greater world that might be astronomy. Too many choose drugs as their minds and wonder aren't challenged.

[h0ughy]

thats what I would like too;)

[joshman]

several eyepieces, an unlimited free fuel card, and time to play with all my astro equipment, so far i've had it all several weeks, and only had 2 chances to use it :( damn work.

[§AB]

I'm getting solid 6-7 hour shifts 6 nights a week at my casual job and now I have $1400 to blow.........maybe a few Radians and Panoptics will be waiting under the Chrissy tree :D

[taminga16]

To have our three children and their partners in the country/state at the same time, and all at home for an extended christmas.

Greg.

For my wife, a Vixen 22mm LVW is on the way, she thinks it's a new perfume.

[mill]

For me the gotonova.
Will be my christmas, birthday etc etc present.

[xelasnave]

All I want is to get my mounts auto guiding working and some clear nights:)...

I just got the news'today....

I have landed the father xmas job at Tabualm again this year:thumbsup:.. so ask away folks whatever you want you can ask me for it :)...but you will have to line up with all the other kids...

I am so happy to get the job that is what I really wanted all year... so growing the beard paid off... and my mate who was trying to beat me by gaining weight missed out... I am going to ask him if he want to be Santas helper for a stir....

My daughter is so proud that her father is father xmas and all the little kids love asking me if I am really Santa..they ask each time at school for stuff and of course I tell them they can have anything they want:lol::lol::lol:.

best of all I get to ride on the back of the fire truck thru town..it sure is neat:).

alex:):):)

[dcalleja]

Ultrawedge for my LX200R

and

World peace

[leon]

Na, I don't want anything, I have all I need, let Santa give it to someone else.

Leon

[jjjnettie]

2 spots of welding
3 roller bearings
4 dynabolts
5 power points
6 observing pads
7 parking bays
8 sq mt of plyboard
9 trees cut down
and 10 clear nights observing in a row.

[dhumpie]

Mine is easy..I need a mid range eyepieces..say something in the 13mm range so anyone want to get me a 13mm Ethos ;) But seriously I would settle for a 13T6 Nagler or a 13mm Stratus/Hyperion.

Darren

[PCH]

Easy ! - A stellarvue binoviewer .... and I've already ordered it, received it and tucked it away in plenty of time for Chrissie :D It sure beats socks and hankies :P

Cheers,

[jakob]

I have the same'need'.
I'm interested in your list of EP's and like to know how to decide between t4 and t6 Nagler?

Jakob

[GrampianStars]

Mmm? motorize the roof pulling 1/2 ton with ropes is getting tedious
2 weeks of clear nights for imaging :prey:
hardwire 2 runs of cat 5E back to the house (50mt)
another case for storage of filters eyepieces cameras, etc,etc;
