Well I reckon I was one lucky guy.

What did Santa leave me out of his sack?

Lowepro Nova 4 AW bag.

Covington's Astrophotography for the Amateur.

40litre Engel with transit bag and battery saver.

What did he leave you?

I got a massage cushion with those sh1tsu rotating ball thingys in it, and i JUST BOUGHT MYSELF 2 17AH batteries with my christmas money at 20% off day at supercheap! add to that some socks undies and stuff I had a great christmas! BTW it was beautiful last night , but too much christmas saw me out at about 1 hour after saturn rose. the cushion is great for the back after a stint at the eyepiece

I got lucky ! my daughter bought me a pair of Gerber 7x50 bino's and a astro calendar

my son bought me a new pair of runners so I can get to the telescope quicker .

Thanks Louie,

I forgot to mention that my little girl made me a little refractor out of a paper roll and some sticks.
It's so sweet. She's only 7 and loves telescopes (like her dad).

I got hanging hooks for I am guessing my next project (hanging pots under new patio area) also got a patio broom for the dust it collects, a $50 bunnings gift voucher for potting mix and finally, I got a back massager (one that vibrates only), for when I finish the above jobs.

I did however buy myself an angle grinder three days before xmas though. (dont think the wife knows yet though, was only $35) Good thing about getting it yourself at least you know you will like it

Next item is probably a router with a circle making jig.

Hey h0ughy, I got one of those all singing all dancing massage cushions as well. They sure work well on the old back muscles; highly recommended. I also got the usual socks, T shirts and Jeans as well as a couple of nice calendars, one astro and the other aviation and a couple of DVD's and a box of chocolate coated ginger....

Nice to see Santa was kind to the Starry-eyed community. He gave to me Robert Geeves book "Introduction to Digital Astrophotography", and "Meteorites - A Journey through Space and Time" to add some more knowledge to my now 12 months old hobby. Might need one of those "singing all dancing massage cushions" to relax and read!
