Great idea brother, and you know Don and I would stand behind you vote wise - and just so you know the family ain't letting the side down we did a poll of the household here, we still average better than 2 pairs of bino's each and that's counting Don and me and the 3 dogs!

I've got Tim here for the weekend too, thinking about sending him home with a pair of those compact 10x32's. I'm hoping he'll reckon that's pretty cool, and hopefully might inspire him to talk to his teachers and friends at school about what he can see in the sky as well.
