Almost forgot, I bought one of their map cases:-

Good for keeping dew off copied star charts, copied magazine hints etc. $7. I chopped the top plastic off so it folds over cleanly and the velcro closes the opening off.

Also they have a compass for the same price. Not a Silva, but it didn't look too bad for someone wanting to pick out the south magnetic pole. Plenty of markings to back correct for magnetic declination to the equatorial pole.


Oh, and coming up next week:- http://aldi.com.au/au/html/offers/of...?WT.z_src=main How about a heated Pet Bed for your observing seat! Thermals and sheepskin boots on offer!
