My wife did buy me a telescope for my birthday. I had not realised until then that astronomy was so within reach of normal people. Then on our anniversary she suggested somewhere in the country to stay and actually found a dark site to view. Since then, she only occasionally looks through the scope and is disappointed by the faintness of the object. She has no idea why i am excited by something so faint, but at least she is happy that I am off the computer for a while.
