I fortunately did everything on my list although I did want to be the oldest man to sail around the world, but thats not going to happen, but I dont feel sad, somewhat relieved that I cant go thru with it....And that was just an ego trip being realistic.
One thing left get auto guiding which I may get done soon. Maybe. I will be happy if it falls into place and works but I notice my patience is not what it once was.... But I fixed my reticule today and the mounts working near perfect for my demands so if I cant make auto guiding happen no worries.
I would not mind getting a triplet a 100 mm or a 80 mm and seeing the esprit 150 mm during my visit to Bintel has got me thinking but I am too tight to spend that sort of money on a toy even if a long time dead... But will be happy to get a $500 8 inch reflector when they come in.
