Going to be out of Town for a few days.

Hi guys, just want to let you know that I will be out of town until next Tuesday. Heading up to Coober Pedy as we have project on there and am going up there to see how the job is progressing. So as a result I will not be online for that period of time. So if I don't reply to any of your questions, its not that I don't want to,; its just that I can't.

Contemplating taking the scope, nice and dark up there and not sure whether to take it. What do you all think?

Anyway have a good week. Will be online until 8 tonight 2 Feb 05

Take it, take it!!!!

Otherwise you will be up there saying ' WOW! look at that sky. wish I had brought my scope.'

Can you go 5-6 days, in perfect seeing conditions, without it?

Enjoy!

Hope you enjoy your trip Paul. You'd better take that scope or you'll regret it! By the way, don't say out loud that you are taking it with you

Times like these we want a nice travel scope.
I can cart my dob around but then I have no room for work equipment

I was contemplating getting a 150mm f5 OTA and making a little travel dob out of it.

Enjoy your trip and drive safely Paul.
