Hi J.A.L., and thanks for registering.
Sorry you lost your first post. Sometimes, if the site or internet is hiccuping, I make a habit of copying all the text to clipboard from time to time, while I'm writing a long post, so I can put it into Word or something and save it if I lose contact!
The experts will soon advise, but I suspect a little more information on what your husband enjoys viewing may help. Splitting double stars is one thing, looking at detail on planets is another, looking an star clusters is another, looking at nebulae is another. What does he talk about when he tells you what he has enjoyed looking at?
