Hi Everyone,
Thanks to all for the kind birthday wishes, I completely forgot to check here on my Birthday
and only just remembered when I checked my email and IIS moderators sent me an email to wish me Happy Birthday.
Thanks to Adrian (for kicking things off - cheers)
Jeanette - had a fabulous time on Saturday night at Linden
Al (yes I DID the Messier Marathon Drive - good memory!
)
"Eliminator" aka Andrew (Pentax XF and the laser collimator were my "pre-birthday pressies") LOVE EM!
Sweet Jen, - thanks for the Birthday "cake" of emoticons!
Phil - Had a blast, went to the Pub and had some bevvies and a nice steak dinner
Kev, - You aren't late - compared to me
- thanks mate.
Ric - windy but clear night at Linden, got to see some fabulous new galaxies with the new Pentax, also compared my scope to a C11 and came away quite impressed with its performance, pound for pound or $ for $ (thanks to Geoff and Ted who allowed me to compare their "tank" 2" eyepiece and the Televue Panoptic 31mm on my scope)
All in all I had a blast!, thanks to everyone who wished me well, I now have a new found admiration for my 12" Dob, love it to bits even more now.
Thanks and Cheers
Chris
