So who have I been trying to kid?
At Snake Valley on the weekend, a few chaps mentioned how their wives would say "and what do you want to buy now?" when they got home. Foolishly I replied that I did not want to buy anything new, even with the dollar so good and even though I'd thought about a 17mm T4 Nagler to replace both my 24mm Panoptic and 17mm LVW. I said what good eyepieces they are and how I like their light weight etc.
So at the first decent moment after I got home on Sunday night I ordered my 17 mm T4 Nagler from Bintel. I was clearly trying to kid myself and FAILED MISERABLY!!! Now I'm excitedly awaiting delivery and having an all-82deg eyeiece collection, as it sits beside my 28mm UWAN and 13 and 9 mm Naglers. And even more eagerly anticipating my first night out with it!!
If anyone's after a 24mm Pan or 17mm LVW, keep an eye on Ice Trade, they should soon be for sale. (I will be a bit sad to see such good eps go, but I know they'll find a good home)
