Hi Boys. Believe it or not, the first t'scope I had, was one of those cheap 60mm refractors, (not good at all). That was about 15 years ago. I only kept it for 2 weeks & then I returned it. I bought a 'Tasco' 114 Reflector with an EQ mount, & was in time to see a few of the larger impact sites that Comet Shoemaker/Levy 9 made as it collided with Jupiter. That was something to see & remember.
I now have a Meade 10" Dobsonian, similar to your dad's.
I'm sure your dad will guide you in the right way to make your viewing of our glorious night skies even more enjoyable.
Just keep looking up, & dream of what's to come.
Clear skies & dry nights,
Regards, L.

Yes, it was freezing out here. Yes, dad did build a step ladder, but we only use it when it's to high! Hi Rajah, I saw one just like the one you had 15 years ago, in K-mart but I would doubt you would see very far with it! Dad read your letter and said the 114mm reflecter would probably be good for me too. I will have to learn how to look after it properly.

Hi Arry & Jake, Yes, you will have to take good care of any t'scope that you buy. A t'scope is a small 'Time Machine' that takes you back to see things as they were, all those many hundreds & thousands of years ago. Ask your Dad to explain if you're not sure what I mean.
What's that? he chucked you off the computer, just so he could put some pics. in... The hide of the man! You'll just have to ask Dad/Mum for an increase in your pocket money, so you can save up & buy your own computer.
Take care & rug up when you go outside.
Regards, L.

Hi Rarjah,(again) Anyway I've only got 5 cents in my money box and all the rest of my money is all in the bank.

And dad just laghed at my mesage. he said he is paying for my telescope. a computer is what he needs before i get a computer. yippee. Dad explaind what you mean, it means that it takes hundreds of thousods of years to get to earth and we are seeing it when it left all that time ago. thats good.

That's right. What you are seeing now may not exist in it's 'present state' anymore. I hope Dad's new job goes well, & he gets his new computer soon.
Stay warm. Regards, L.

Hi Aaron,
Nice to see you back again, are you going to help dad with the "thing" he is making for the camera or are you going to supervise and see if he makes it right
Wish your brother all the best with his school project for me please.

Boy I wish my son would have gotten excited about his science project. He was doing how stars evolve. I didn't find out about it 'til the night before it was due. Crazy kid, he could have had the best poster in the class but he just wasn't interested enough to ask for information. Is Jake making a telescope or is he just going to hide dad's in his bag for show and tell?
