Aperture fever has morphed, introducing 'the Astro-gear black hole'...

Hi guys and girls....

Well we've all heard of Aperture fever, but i'd like to bring your attention to another astro-illness which seems to be plagueing me... ive fallen into the astro-gear black hole...

My train of thought is going something like this :

"I'm liking this astro stuff, might get a 12" dob..."

"But if i get a good dob, ill need some good EP's..."

"But if i get some good EP's, ill need a case to put them in..."

"Ill need a telrad for the scope too..."

"The scope's no good if its dewy, so i'll need a dew heater..."

"Better get some thermal gear too..."

"Argo-navis would also come in handy..."

"I'm gunna need some way to power all this stuff when i'm in the feild, better get a rechargable battery pack..."

"Now that i think of it, ill probably need some camping gear for when i take it out bush..."

"Gunna need a red torch too..."

"You know what, i might have a crack at some photos, so im gunna need a good CCD camera..."

"Dont think my computer's up to processing them though, might need to upgrade..."

"Geez thats a lot of stuff, im gunna need a bigger car..."

"Hmmmm, now that ive got more room in the car...."

And so it continues....

What have you done to me!!!..Is there any escape???.......:ro fl:
