Apertureholism has a hold of me... and it seems there is no cure...
Although, due to this ailment I think recently I've become susceptible to refractorholism.... Treatment I understand is horribly expensive

Buying them is nearly as much fun as using them.

Definitely a refractorholic when the object you are looking at is at a reasonable elevation. When it is overhead (like Joops right now) I come down with Lightbridgeitis.

A cure for this is a good Newtonian, beats them every time.

Apertureholism has no cure and no matter how bad the case is you have there is always another symptom around the corner. Its the steps you have to make that get longer and harder the worse it gets. It now seems I must get 9 feet of the ground to get relief.

I've never had enough spare money to fully develop either condition.

JJJ.... its not about what we have.. its about what we WANT!
With infinite funds, I'd have a 100m reflector with a malim-cam (with servo-cat obviously.. I aint pushing that thing ANYWHERE)
Hence. Apertureholism.

Why don't you just piggyback it on the SDM 
I am with Andrew. I need my feet off the ground to satisfy the photon urge.

Isn't that like hitting your toe with a hammer to stop you thinking about
the ache in your shoulder...etc...etc...
Nah that just changes the disease lol and increases the likely hood of
aperture fever... which is kinda like malaria for me these days it comes
and goes, but I do have the next script about filled

Yes, they make cute finder scopes. Trouble is though, you don't get to see many stars through them due to lack of, er, aperture!

A big dob is like a keg of beer, a fine Apo is like a glass of 1979 Penfolds Grange Hermitage Magnum. Go for the one that makes you 'happier'

Nope, I think you will find that a big dob is like a KEG of 1979 Penfolds Grange Hermitage . It makes me really very happy indeed!
(I love this debate )
