Mea Culpa

My Stellarvue SV90T Raptor arrived today, so I guess I have sentenced Sydneysiders to poor weather conditions for an indeterminent length of time.
Its beautifully made, as are all Stellarvue products and I'm busting to try it out!
Doesn't it always happen when you get a new scope?

You are a decent and thoughtful person Laurie.
To sacrifice your own viewing sky so that we in Brisbane may have clear skies.
A new toy like that will definitely draw the clouds to Sydney away from Brisbane. LOL.

Cheers

Lee, I am sure the weather will be good for full moon
Marty, I am always ready to forgo my own needs for the benefit of others-Yeah, right!
Stu-I haven't seen carbon fibre up close before, and it sure does look cool.
Cheers

New telescopes are not the only reason.
I just realised that I could be responsible. I bought a new lawn sprinkler last week and don't see any opportunity to use it yet.
