Mick, at the risk of antagonising the financial manager

I think maybe a good pair of binoculars is on the cards for your future if you havent got them already. Astrobinoculars get large, expensive and too heavy to hand hold. But a quality pair is a joy to use especially if you get into astrophotography as you have time to kill while your computerised setup spends a few hours capturing shots. Plus the wife might be encouraged to enjoy the sky too with them. Its a great way to just learn your way around the sky and spot things that are just out of your eyes reach normally. The Orion nebula is always amazing, jupiters moons are easy in binos. Plus if late nights arent appealing the sun is a good study target too and there are many ways to enjoy that. Even radio astronomy is possible for the home enthusiast.
