lost mirror

Really sorry to hear that Ron,I hope it turns up

I am happy to donate $20 towards an new one,I am sure many of here could

help Ron out if things go pear shape.if 100 ISS'ers donate $20 we can get him

a new mirror (sorry Ron I do not know what its worth,so forgive me estimate if its wrong).

Sorry I cannot donate more,But no income due to floods.

We ca'nt have you without a mirror Ron,it just would'nt be astrofest without

you and your 16 inch scope.

Cheers Chris

That's good you now know where it is Ron.

That should reduce the stress levels a bit.

Cheers

Good news Ron! They've probably never had such urgent and insistent enquiry about a 'mirror' before - I bet they think that you are the vainest person on the planet...

re mirror

Glad to hear some positive advancement on the location of the mirror Ron.

But,I do know what you mean-you will not be happy until its in your hands.

All the best for its safe arrival,and let us know when its back up and running.

I alway pick up from their depot, they have always made it difficult to deliver. You should be able to.

Good luck with it.

Hi Ron,

Can't wait to get that baby back in your arms eh ? Don't blame you, I'd be the same!

Hope it all works out quickly!


Best,

Les D
