Welcome to IIS Jinxta,
Suggest you now go and buy yourself a rain water tank and hook it up to collect rain from the rooftop...
that's sure to help!

Hi Jinxsta and welcome to IIS :welcome:.

You'll get used to it, I had to wait two weeks for the sky to clear when I bought my new scope :P.

Congrats on the new scope, what type is it?

Cheers:)

Hi Jinxsta,

I have had my GS 12" dob for over a year and a half or 2 years (I forget), and it still has that 'New' smell inside the tube!!!!

It's been carted around, left out to be covered in ice several times (quite a lot actually), cleaned several times (tube, as well as mirrors), covered in dust and dusted regularly etc.

The 'new' smell just never seems to go away.

[jinxsta]

Its a guan sheng 8 inch reflector with eq mount.
while I was in newcastle yesterday I picked up
a 2x barlow to go with the plossi eyethingymebobs
and there was heaps of other goodies there hopefully
santa will bring me some.
