I got one of them Sony's too, nice camera, I keep it in my bag with my Leica 8x32 binos. Also have the Canon 60D...too heavy to carry around all the time. Same reason I got the Leica bino's, my Fujinon were too damn heavy too. The Leica are really sweet optics. For it's size, surprisingly good on the night sky.

Growing up, I quickly learned to find a bargain......but that is because I never had much money, still don't!

Nah Brian, not really.......well........maybe? They did cost me a packet, two houses and counting. Married twice and both left me for mates. The worst thing about that is, I am running out of mates!!!

Have to admit though, I doubt I would have the astro gear I have if I was still married. Only person I have to justify anything too is me. And that ain't hard. I doubt there will be a next time, just can't afford to lose another house. A little tired of making my mates rich

But, I do have my priorities right. Whenever, on the rare occasions, I do meet a woman I ask, do you like astronomy and do you like sci-fi? Sadly, I just don't meet many women who meet those criteria. Most women I meet seem to lack the imagination for sci-fi
