Caleb, I think those following this thread are more anxious you.
We all await the outcome, hopefully a positive one for you.
May the force be with you!

Okay, geeze

I'll try my best to take it down.

Don't worry, I havn't given up on astronomy. I was taking some photos the other night on my film SLR

I saw some meteorites out there, maybe they will show up on the film...

Hope the meteorite photos come out. But come on, get that scope working!

Nooo, I took it to Jaycar yesterday. But cripmers were $20.. So I though I'd take it to my local telescope shop, but my dad thought I should try it again, so I did, and no action. So we left to the shop, and I sillily left the power plug in on my scope.. A few hours after this I thought I should pack my scope away, and I see the plug in and think, "Hmmm, Oh well" but when I put my fingers on their to pull it out that thing was bloody hot

So unfortunatly I am lead to belive there are more things wrong, building up the $'s and frustration in my head..

And don't get me started on last night, I took my SLR out with 7 shots left and I bumped the shutter in the dark taking 6 X 10 sec exposures.

Looks like there is some cloud rolling in as I type....

Gotta love 'em...

I'm back in the game gents.
