In regard to your back, Have you considered going to a corrective chiropractor. It will cost you around $2800 for the first year of treatment and finding a good one is hard. However, early this year I put my back out so far I looked like the shape of the letter C. That was looking front on. Other Chiro's said I had scoliosis and could not fix it. I said that was crap as I have had numerous X rays during the Army and it was not picked up once. I went to see the guy I go to now and he said he could fix the problem and that it was result of all the damage I had done to my back in my youth. I now have a back which is very strong again and very straight. No surgery needed. Don't get surgery it will cause more problems later. Next year I will go onto a maintenence program and only need to go twice a month. It took six months for my back to come good, going 3 times a week. I felt no pain at all after 4 weeks. Try doing that after surgery. Forget the observatory and get a corrective chiro and you will be lifting your scope at 80. Your health is far more important that your hobby. Without your health there can be no hobby.
BTW, up until I hurt my back (well actually I hurt is several times over the years but did not know it) I had never been to a chiro or physio. This guy has changed my mind to all that. Don't go to a pain manager, go to someone who will correct the problem with Machines and traction. Ask them if they are corrective or not.
Best of luck.

thanks for the advice Paul. I have been wondering which way to go. At the moment because of workcover I have had to follow what my workplace has sent me to. But in the new year I think a change is in the wind. Thanks for the advice.
