G'day, Eddy. Like Alex, I too abhor people with beards - but only if they are not grey. *sighs*

Jealousy has nothing to do with this particular phobia (one of many I own) nor has the fact that I possess one (grey, of course). If nothing else, good Sir, you have something to which you can look forward. There's an old saying, often misquoted, which tells us to 'grow old grey-fully'. None of the goatee rubbish for us men.

Do not be embarrassed by your ownership of a wee refractor. I know from my avid reading of postings on this very site that many of us started out in much the same manner as yourself. Unlike most on this site I still have my little two-inch 'scope and, though it has taken on an almost mystical quality over time (it's amazing what the brain does to memories) and hasn't been used in years, I refuse to part with it, though that's partly because most people would expect me to pay for its disposal.

I'm rambling and started to post for a reason which now escapes me . . .

. . . Ah, got it. Welcome aboard.
