Thanks for thinking of us!
He was very surprised!!
Whilst we had clear skies last night, my husband was a little, errr, "under the weather" from a fun Christmas day!
We put it all together this morning (and had a laugh at the instructions that said, "bolt the tube rings to the mount using the
wench provided"). PMSL.
We then set out the back to get the finder scope aligned but we ran out of time because we had some boxing day celebrations to attend.
We'll definitely finish it off tomorrow.
I couldn't get Astronomy 2009 anywhere (Borders even had some astro 2007 book!

) so we'll just get it from the website. I ended up getting some pack from AG that has maps, planesphere and a red light torch.
So excited to start looking at the sky!
My husband is... over the moon! BOOM-TISH!
P.S. Hope you all had a great Christmas!
