Silver Lining

Well from a crap weekend and I'm still sore by the way.

I was going to spend $1000-1500 on a new scope pending Mr Rudd's contribution but I just had an interesting phone call which confirmed I will be receiving a small inheritance.

Suffice it to say I've now got around $5000 to spend on a new scope

What does a man do

1. Buy a bigger APO refractor 120mm or 130mm $4k
2. Buy the 8" GSO RC or wait for the 10" which by all rights should be around $4k
3. Buy a 10" Meade SCT OTA $4k

I'm now more into astrophography than visual although I'd probably still do some visual

again but this time more in a nicer way
