Skeletope II - made from the 'bones' of Skeletope I. It's all tubes and frames, skeletal like Serrurier truss.
"BlueNewt" my original 114 newt. Can you guess what colour it is 
'Wee Achro" the 80 mm f5 Grab & Go which in our current cloudy skies is the only thing worth grabbing to look through sucker holes in the grey nebula above. 
The bins are just 'The Bins'

I haven't given mine a name. When I first got it, however, I did call it "My Precious" a couple of times

Actually, she left me for a mate and is now married to him. Didn't know he was such a good mate! It is a consolation prize, but what a consolation prize it is. Never would have been able to afford it otherwise.
Would I swap it all to have her back.....no way! Miss my mate though

Both my scopes are quite noisy go-to's and thus they have an unwritten name of "The coffee grinders"

We name all ours after astronomers... Ptolemy, Copernicus, Kepler and Cassini and our solar scope is Galileo.

Oh, I feel a little left out, not having named my scopes. So here goes, the little one, the big one and the great big one!

Haden't named my 10" dob but was given a 6" dob today.
So naming them now :
6" is called The Little One
10" is called The Big One.
