It's awesome...

...when you find something that you didn't realise you even had.

I've been slowly looking through packed boxes of stuff for my Burnham celestial guides, mainly cos I'm too tight to pay for them again when I know I have them somewhere ;-) These were packed when my parents moved from Sydney to Toowoomba 10 or so years ago. I elected to stay in Sydney.

Well...not only have I found 2 of the 3 Burnham's books, but I've found:

AAVSO Variable star atlas 2nd edition

Herald-Bobroff Astroatlas

I'd well and truly forgotten about owning either of these items, so I'm really HAPPY!

I also found my copy of Sky Atlas 2000 (desktop version). Bonus.

other goodies found:

my lomo 6 x 4 medium format camera (cheapie)

A collectible star wars book (I think it cost me nearly 400 when I bought it)

a few other odds and ends.

All I need to find now is the 3rd burhham's book, and my collection of CCD magazines. Go me!

Dave
