Make sure i have lots of aeroguard 
Do not let hubby touch scope ever again
I bought myself the 2008 Australian Sky Astronomy book soooo cool
Oh and did i mention that when the moon is so bright that i got blinded when i walked away from scope that i tripped over the kiddie chair that i couldnt see and got a huge bruise on my shins  i use the kids chair for a step cause im such a shorty 5'2 im on the chair then im off the chair grrrrrr it is quite an uncomfortable hobby actually then next thing i know by butts near close to the ground  
I never go to bed till the sun comes up when i have the scope out  
Oh and last but not least you know that saying size does matter well now i totally agree SIZE DOES MATTER and im guessing that this wont be the last telescope that I buy hehe oh and next shop will be a descent camera this is gonna become an expensive habit but so exciting bring it on 2008 wow what a month it was woohooo bring it on 2008
thanks guys again for the lovely welcome here cheers

Welcome Jen. yes size does matter but there is a caveat here - make sure you are able to lift and move it!!
Also unless your hubby gets bitten then he could become an astro widower
A personal question, but what actually got you hooked, what part of the sky?
