Well Peter didn't even deliver me a scope, but he did manage to stay at my house for 5 days from Xmas to New year, drink just about every drop of Chardonnay I own and tip some of my best Port down his throat. All this without even getting my cigars out, a lot of of my assistance and even more argument from my wife. Something to do with, "you've had enough boys"

May I add Geoff, that some of my intuitively brilliant ideas regarding telescope design and construction, are now incorporated into yours' and Rod's telescopes. At least two I believe It's amazing the brilliant ideas one has at the back end of a bottle of port

I will add that when we met up again at Coonabarabran in March, he reciprocated on the shout and produced a fine bottle of port from the back end of his trailer

Peter builds a superb telescope. You will get many many years of enjoyment from it, as will Rod. Enjoy them fellas.
