Never been to England. They were always on telly here when I was a kid. Hated Coronation Street but liked 'Z' Cars!

Mike you could have bought mine, I am selling mine only a year old with wedge, JMI scope case, dew shield, dew heater, off axis guider, 3D weight set and many more items for $6000.00. Pity you did not look in the Buy sell forum.

Congrats on buying your scope though. They are very good.

Striker,

The C14 is not for sale. It is fixed in the SETI observatory.
If you are desperate, I could sell you the 4.5" Tasco....Hahaha.
I did buy the LX200 so I could take it out places, in the long run it will be cheaper than the wife, won't argue with me, and will be much more fun.
Only joking.
I talked to Erik today, he is interested in going South this January. But he is checking on his finances first. He just bought his first house.
If we go we will hire a campervan for the weekend. Do I need to put red headlight bulbs in it?

Paul,

I'm sorry I didn't look in the buy and sell, but who sells a magnificent telescope like that?


Mike

Houghy,
I might need you to show me how to drive the scope, I will still have my L plates at the end of Jan.
When will I find time to sleep?

Hopefully the scope will arrive over Christmas as we are having some clear nights up here for a change.

Mike they are great scopes, but lack just a little for my planetary imaging needs. Oh well, if you hear of anyone who wants to buy an LX200 you know who to suggest.

[Striker (Tony)]

Mike both Paul(1ponders) and myself have had a LX200 so we can easily set you up....hope you and your mate can come..tell him to forget about the house...he has 30 years to pay it off...lol..

[Sausageman (Mike Boggan)]

Thanks Tony.
you are much closer than Houghy anyway.
I just had an email from Don at Bintel, they are shipping the scope tomorrow arvo, and it will get here on Friday.
I can't wait, I suppose the rest of the week will drag now, and of course it is bound to be cloudy on Friday.
Time for a celebration,

I will be going to the star party, I am sure Erik will as well
I will do the application shortly.

A very happy
Mike
