did you refrain until after dinner to even touch it or unpack it. I should not call the dob an it, as it must now be a living breathing person.

Dinner whats that The delivery driver hadn't even driven off before I started to open it. Already collimated it and done a quick star test (needs a bit of fine adjustment but it is close. The clouds have just started to roll in so it will have to wait till tomorrow. Buy the way there was a cost to my getting the new dob I had to get my wife a new MP3 player and over $250 worth of DVD's (I knew there would be a catch). But it was worth it!!!!

before i started looking at getting a scope a few months back, my wife wanted to get her hair straightened. my first response: i love your curls, but if that is what you want dear, by the way what does it cost?: $300. I fell out of my chair! Now that i seriously thinking of the 12" dob with a few little extras = just over the $1000, I am now very ssupportive of her hair.

You and I should should be chief negotiators for the government for getting these scopes past!!!

Yes it does have the fan, the star test was to see if there was any error in the alignment of the scope, I didn't get a good chance last night as the clouds started to roll in.

Wombat,

Are you alive? how the new addition to the family going. Getting worried something is wrong. Please just reply back saying that you have looked at an upside down dog across the street. The suspense is killing me.

Those upside down dogs are excellent. I especially like the birds hanging upside down from the power lines!!!

I have lost Wombat too. Sent an email and have heard nothing. Hope all is well.

Well I have seen any upside down dog as yet, but I have been busy with a few things for the new family member it now has a protective fitted cover and nearly finished the new base board for it. I will post photos of the new base board once it is completed.
