The good news is;

[Marko of Oz (Mark)]

My 10x50HR binoculars have arrived from AOE,
the bad news is the missus won't even let me peek till Christmas.

The good news is the clouds finally parted on Sunday night after weeks of overcast weather here in Rocky,
the bad news is, I sprained my foot/ankle on Saturday night so I had no hope of carrying 55kg of scope and mount etc down the back stairs.

And of course, now the clouds are back.

bugger.

I have the exact same binos coming from AOE for my Chrissy present also Surely you can sneak a little peek? I'll definitely be having a look at mine when they (hopefully) arrive at my workplace on Thursday Although if this weather keeps up, I'll be spotting birds and not the stars ..
