Jen,
Forget the pics, I'm more impressed with the colour of the scope!!! (I've assumed it is yours?)
There was a time when I use to observed with a whole lot of Celestron 8 observers, with the same old bright orange tubes. After a while, I couldn't stand it any longer, so I bought some light blue Contact, and covered the tube with it so I'd be different than everyone else.
I'll have to dig up a pic, but it sure looks like almost the same colour next to Jen.
All this time, and I thought I was the only one who has had a similar coloured telescope.
If it is your 'scope, I'm actually really so overwhelmingly impressed!
(by where are the emoticons plastered all over it?)
Oooooh! I think I need a lie down! 
Note: Jen is obviously far more classy than the avatar image here on IIS! (shyness? 
) Perhaps it IS time to change it to one of Leon's images! (Looking at the download numbers, now fifty plus, it might be a good idea.)
