:rolleyes:
:rofl:

It's arrived!

[Baddad]

Excellent it arrived.

Now maybe we only have to wait a short time for the weather to clear.

Cheers

[mikerr]

That should increase the old heart rate!!!

What size/model is it?

Congratulations. Off course there will be no end to this rain now thank you very much!!:rofl:

Michael.

[h0ughy]

i see the clouds are there too JJJ

[Baddad]

:)This chatising / reprimands of members buying astro gear and causing the weather to unsettle, is beginning to have me believe its real. That it is actually causing rain.:)
I worry myself now.

I will not tell anyone when I buy some toys next time.:D

Cheers

[Omaroo]

The only way to prevent (what looks like) the inevitable is to stick it in a cupboard before you even open it Nettie.

[allan gould]

From the title of your message I thought you had lost bladder control JJJ.
Enjoy your new scope and I hope all goes well for you.

[Octane]

Fun times. :)

[leon]

[mozzie]

hey,hey jjj is coming back to the dark side !!!!!!!!!

congrats a nice piece of gear.....

[pmrid]

JJJ, I love the subliminal message in the photo - 2 nice new towers of brand new astro gear waiting to be unpacked - set against a background of heavy rain clouds. Hmmmm! Was that deliberate?

Peter

[Saturn%5]

Nice Clouds :D

[xstream]

There goes the skies at Coona! :mad2: :sad::tasdevil:

[h0ughy]

yes you are quite correct - the image indeed belongs in the cloud appreciation thread:P

[jjjnettie]

And here she is, fully assembled. :)
I'm feeling totally knackered. Time for a cup of tea then I'll plug her in and take her for a test drive.

[sheeny]

Congrats Nettie! Looking good!

Al.

[spacezebra]

[Forgey]

[Shark Bait]

:2thumbs: Looks like clear skies this weekend. I bet you can't wait for first light.

Give it some wheels and we can start a Dalek revolution.

[lacad01]

Nice one, don't worry there'll be plenty of clear nights in the near future to enjoy it :)

[GeoffW1]

It IS real. And you don't have to tell, the rain gods KNOW.

[Rodstar]

Looks great Jeanette! I will be interested to have a look through her under dark skies at Coona.

[erick]

Tell us, what's her name?

[asimov]

Congratulations Jeanette. New toys, oh yeah!

[jjjnettie]

Rod, she won't becoming down to Coona. It would be pointless given that we have the Mary Rose and Edwin to look through. :)
Besides, I only have a small car. Once my imaging gear is in, there is room for little else.

[Matt Wastell]

Have fun!

[Liz]

Looks great jjj!! The ah, ... more intelligent sister to my Bella.

[SkyViking]

It looks awesome, congratulations JJJ. You must be very happy with that!

[Rodstar]

No worries! Yes, with Edwin and the Mary Rose, you'll have more than enough photons to enjoy. :)

I will be interested to see your imaging gear.

Fingers crossed for clear skies.:thumbsup:

[Screwdriverone]

As per facebook, I reckon the only name for a scope that sparkles (and is owned by an astro chick) is Edward......! ;)

Cheers

Chris

[pgc hunter]

congrats jjj, enjoy the new toy. Couple of nice days in the forecast for the weekend for SEQ :D

[Ric]

Congrats Jeanette, that's a great looking scope. :thumbsup:

I think you may have to change the name to "Cloud Watcher" for the time being though. :lol:

[bartman]

Wicked JJJ!
Great pic of you and the scope!
Bartman

[GeoffW1]

Hi jjj,

Well done, I don't know which of you two is looking finer there (yes, I do really, I do ;)).

I'll be most interested to see what you think of the Synscan controller. There have been some bugs, and flash upgrades to kill them, and it's a little idiosyncratic in some ways I think.

Keep well

[Suzy]

You can tell that she's super excited, Nettie rarely uses emoticons. :lol:

Great photo Nettie of you & the new family addition, enjoy!!!

[jjjnettie]

First light. :D

[FlashDrive]

Looking Good there nettie ....BTW .. what's the ' mozzie ' situation like out your way.... When my TV85 arrives .. would like to drop over and experience some decent ' dark skies ' .. and have a look at your new ' toy ' .

Got a ' name ' for it yet ...??

Flash :hi:

[jjjnettie]

No name yet. Been toooooo busy today to even think about the scope.

[mr bruess]

Congratulations on new telescope.
:astron::stargaze:
This event is like the birth of a new baby where everyone is congratulating you.Except it ain't a newborn baby but a new Hot looking Skywatcher GOTO dobsonian.
I can tell that Jeanette is a heavy Telescope User and that the new scope won't be sitting around unused gathering spiderwebs.
