Re: rain & floods in South Qld

[DavidU]

Knowing that drought breaking weather can usually explained by a telescope purchase, so, who bought the obviously large new scope?

[Liz]

Not sure who else bought something,David, but Outbackmanyep said he bought a new eyepiece. ;);)

Hey People, :):D

Er, aah, I din't 'fess up earlier. I made a little purchase.:D Just a smallish one.

Six eye pieces. :D

It seems the weather gods targetted here more so than other areas.
We had 396mm of rain. The backyard (2 acres) is still a little waterlogged.

So I've served my penance.

Cheers Marty

but I did down grade aperture so does that help.

You might have to change hobbies for a while and take up wood turning. It'd be a shame to waste all that good timber.
