Thanks for being Jen, not the same without you here.

Glad to hear you got collimated properly, now if we could all just get together and teach Jen V E R Y S L O W L Y what the purpose of an EQ mount is, then she might stop "picking it up and turning it around" to point the scope in the direction of the object she wants to see

Agreed??

Chris

ok AGREED YES it is a very vary bad habit i tried really really hard not to pick it up last weekend but i just couldnt stand it it looked all retarded and warped and i was so scared it was gonna fall over so to make me feel better i picked it up and turned it around
and there, much more comfy for me

She came out one night only, was bitten by some little bugs around the ankles - didn't heal properly for months. For some reason, she has no interest?

oh no thats not good give her a box of aeroguard for her birthday and tell her to try again
That happened to me the first nite i was out with the scope i was eaten alive by mozzies
(jen really hates bugs)

Hint - get rollon aeroguard, not spray. Spraying near yours or someone else's optics may cause damaged optics and tremendous aggravation!

IIS in the 3 months I've been a member has quickly become my most viewed web site, theres always something to learn, laugh about or look at, and anytime you have a question, you can ask away without thinking "Everyones going to think im a moron..."

Great place!

THREE CHEERS FOR IIS!!!! W00000000000!!! W00000000000000000000!!!! W0000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000!!!!

Im done.

I hear ya Alex ...Load and Clear ...Wow true words.

Forums are about caring and sharing, for people, by people with a common interest, it's like when you post an image any comment whether sincere or not is a welcome comment.

We take the time to share knowledge and the joy we experience learning and seeing new things in the universe that we all try spend a considerable time viewing, along the way we may make a friend or two, share new discoveries, exchange a laugh, or learn that we have more in common than just the joy of astronomy.

Isn't that what families are about
