Lightbulb Tax Cheques!

It's that time of year..

My tax refund was deposited into my account today!

We know Rod went and bought a nag and a pan with his refund!

What are you spending yours on? (subject to minister approval!?)

I'm planning to get either a premium planetary eyepiece (for visual use) or a 5x powermate (for imaging) with mine. The rest goes on bills and the trip to ballarat and the 12 apostles!

What about you?

I haven't even done my tax return yet!

I would say mine will be going on a stand alone autoguider if SWMBO doesn't earmark it for capital spending on the house, and a holiday.

Mine went on my trip to Melbourne next month and my trip to the UK next year. But... alas nothing new for my scope or any new ep's. But I have learned that I have a Bolton Wanderers corp box available to me when I'm over there. So I will be watching a few football games and I also was given permission to referee games in the UK when I'm there. So it's going to be a trip to remember. Thanks Mr taxman
