[Rodstar (Rod)]

Congratulations on a fantastic purchase Rowena! That's the same as my scope. I am DEEPLY and TRULY in love with my LX200! Not a session goes by that I don't find out something new that it can do. Keep reading that instruction manual, and trialling things, you'll be amazed what it is capable of!

Clear skies for the long weekend!

Don't you just love the look of the LX200!...but you're right, they're heavy suckers aren't they. You'll have the time of your life...welcome to the club :-)

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

Congratualtions Rowena. I'm all smiles for you. How well I know that feeling. How long have you spend just looking at it

[ving (David)]

yay rowena!
now tony is completely stuffed... no scope at all

[rowena]

hahah yes... but he can admire his fishies though!.. specially on those cloudy QLD nights!

and the time spent looking at mmmm around 20 mins so far, read a fair wack of the manual last night! can't wait to go out and play! think sunday will be the perfect opportunity tho

[Striker (Tony)]

Congrats Rowena......You bought the scope of one hell of a bloke...lol

Atleast you have friends with the same type of scope...they can help you when you make a mistake...

Yes I'm scopeless.....but I have $7000 to spend on a new scope.....wahoooo......lets go shopping

[rowena]

hahahahaha but if you buy a new scope, you'll wait 2 months to get it, and then want to sell it in 3 months! lol!

love the avatar now! lol.

[Striker (Tony)]

3 months is stretching it a bit.....lol


NO......next scope I am keeping atleast till the end of the year no matter what......I promise....hehehe.

[rowena]

hahahahahah sure sure!!! ... perhaps we should get u to put a wager on it! we could even run our own betting system to see how long you can hold on to the next scope! lol

Hi Rowena, Congrats on the 'new' LX200. If I may, "white with 2 sugars please"! You will now be directed to set-up at the far end of the carpark, along with all the other LX's. L.
ps. see you Sunday at Hill 60 for partial eclipse?????

[rowena]

Hill 60? where the heck is that? I know Jerra is out!

my other suggesstions where up north of thirroul at one of the lookouts, but i think the new bypass is blocking the drive up there!

[RAJAH235]

See PM.
BTW, what's wrong with viewing the moon? L.

[Moonman (Michael)]

Wow,

I was eyeing off that unit of strikers, merely in the hypothetical sense, when he advertised it, however I soon hope to be in the possesion of an GS 880 (price to Tassy $500) which, given my wifes reaction to this purchase, shall have to do me for at least 3 years or maybe 30!

When the children are finished at private school I might follow suit though and join the LX 200 brigade.

See you in a decade (at least)

Enjoy your new equipment and no doubt we will all be seeing the fruits of this posted on the forum soon.:

welcome to the LXclub. Now you will be looking to put in an observatory because you get back strain from lifting it around.
