My new baby
Firstly I'd like to to say sorry to everyone in melbourne for the upcoming crappy weather.
I picked up my new baby today from Bintel, a 12" skywatcher goto dobbie
(they are on sale atm).
Can't with for some clear weather, but this is melbourne so I might be waiting a while!

Nice score there Paula.
I see the Cats are doing the ' once over ' for contraband before they release the ' goodies ' to you.

Looks great. But don't hug your new baby too much; you'll wear the paint off.

Very nice!
The proliferation of these decent sized, easy to get around dobs are a boon for the amateur astronomer!

Congratulations Paula.
The 12" dob is a beautiful thing and the SW Go To ones are about the best in the commercial lines.
I must have missed you in Bintel. I was in there Saturday morning. The boys told me I was only their 3rd customer that day, you may have been one of the other 2!
I also am partly responsible for any crappy weather as I picked up a 6mm Delos there!
Hope the skies cxlear and we hear some results.
