Not listed. A tube for wiring, inside the peir, down the middle and under the floor, nothing to trip on.

A really good mount and OTA is the best accessory to your pier :D:P

I'll vote "other"

If you have a pier, then an observatory would probably be a handy accessory to have around it.

Hand Controller mount - got to remember to add one to mine.
Holder for Magnum 45 (to sort the neighbours white light out) - nah - use a long rangoon cane cliff gaff to jag it.
Junction/Control Box for all of your switches and cables to plug into - got my vote , and it's something I will look into added to mine.

I'll pop in for VELCRO VELCRO VELCRO. If it was socially acceptable I'd build an alter to it.

current score is one and 3/4 rolls of pad, nearly one 5 meter roll of hook and 2x5 meter rolls of velcro wrap. :love: :love:

After that I'd have to say my RF hand piece and Starmate for my G8 digital drive :love:

and third would be the 30mm lip that runs around the baseplate of the pier extension. What a great little accessory, thanks Ade. :thumbsup:

Clear skies. Not sure where to get some but I believe it is still being made, somewhere. Perhaps it is being outsourced. Or perhaps the Qld government has claimed ownership of it and sold it to the Nakatome corporation along with the water, roads, rail, forests ...

The Lone Ranger and Tonto went camping one night. After they got their tnet all set up, they soon fell sound asleep. Some hours later, Tonto wakes The Lone Ranger and says, "Kemo Sabi, look towards sky, what you see?" The Lone Ranger replies, "I see millions of stars." "What that tell you?" asked Tonto. The Lone Ranger ponders for a minute, then says, "Astronomically speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three in the morning. Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What's it tell you, Tonto? Tonto is silent for a moment, then says, "Kemo Sabi, you dumb ass. It tell me someone stolen tent."

Good poll

I was going to tick a number of them (including the rum and coke but that's a Newfoundland thing....

in the end i opted for the radio link.

I use my two way for the better half to call me in when "dinner is ready" on those winter nights that allow me to get out there early in the evening

Bl**dy brilliant Trevor - I almost fell off my chair laughing at the sound of JD's voice for Tonto as he delivered the punchline. :rofl::rofl:

45 is too loud, I prefer an EMP gun with low angle projection to take out the lights.

No one seems to need a telescope.
I know I can't focus velcro too well, and all those bits and pieces
don't seem to attach to anything.

A Telescope .. ? What a dang good idea !!! :lol:
