My 18" scope was bought by a friend who had been able to test it out at a dark site ( I also had two other offers to buy it ). My current build 18"F3.54 has so many 'hidden costs' that I think I will have to keep it forever.
I hope my wife never finds out how much a 0.5mm custom made blue kevlar/grey carbon baffle sheet costs.....  |
Wait a sec, I have J on speed dial....
OK, wait a sec, last weekends expenditure for me (and the FUEL PRICE GOUGE by someone...). Yeah, I'm screwed too.
I'd Dobinate (my new word) it Glen.
