Listening to that rain on the roof.....

While unpacking a large box containing my newest imaging telescope.
Priceless.


I've gone and bought another RC8.
I did have one a while ago, but had to sell it on for personal reasons before ever giving it a real work out.
Weather man say's it's going to be clearing tomorrow giving us a cold and frosty weekend.
So tonight I'll set it up on the mount in the dining room and see what needs doing re. balance .

I was going to Leyburn tomorrow and now with this new purchase of yours it will rain for weeks despite the (consistently poor) predictions of the weatherman.

I wondered why you ditched the RC8 last time JJJ. Can't for the life of me figure out why you don't see these everywhere at Astrofest. Expecting to check your new baby out there!
