I hope the weather/ scope gods are kinder to you than they were to me when I got mine! Seriously though babe, leave some stars for us that are still in anticipation.

On second thoughts don't. You go girl... the heavens belong to you tonight!

well done, whats the heater for?? you live in england don't you???

and that retores my faith in the balance of things, even when the fairer sex gets a telescope, the weather gods still do not favour them.


although seeings how we are blamed for everything, the ladies may say "because it is a male dominated hobby" then this week of clouds is all our faults, not the lady astronomers....i might have to go and ask my wife.....i will go and wake her up and ask.....goodbye cruel world!!!

Why, to bring the scope up to ambient temperature, obviously!

Congratulations, Sonia. Happy hunting,
