My birthday present - a new telescope

[Astro Girl (Elizabeth)]

Hello everyone

Today is my birthday and my present was a telescope.
It is a dob and the colour is white.
I wished for a telescope and it cam true. It was a big suprise.
it's my first scope.
now I can use my own and Daddy can use his own.
My scope is a Meade Lightbridge and it's beautiful.

My Daddy will put some photos for you to see.

Happy Birthday Astro-Girl. Congrats on your lovely scope. I'm very envious and so is my little 5 yr old Girl Maddie !!!

Awesome birthday present Elizabeth. That's a great telescope. You are gonna have so much fun with that.

Your Dad's a pretty nice guy and you must be fairly special yourself to get something like that.

Wishing you a wonderful birthday and lots of clear skies

It looks like you've got 1 inch of aperture for every birthday you've had.... (8 years = 8").

Happy Birthday.

P.S. hope this gives you an idea for your 12th b'day.....

Wow who is a lucky girl, now don't give daddy back his nagler will you . you must keep that!

What are you going to tell your firends at school on Monday?

[Striker (Tony)]

Looks great Elizabeth...you must be so happy.

Your scope is much better then your fathers Takahashi TOA 130.

Tell your dad to supply you with 3 or 4 Nagler eyepieces...these are perfect for 8 year old eyes.

Ask him.

Hello Astro Girl. I missed welcoming you the other day. to Iceinspace.

WOW Fantastic pressie Elizabeth. An 8" Lightbridge. I am so jealous.

My dad bought me a telescope when I was about 10 or 11, but it was only about 60mm (2.5"). I used it up until 2 years ago when it blew off the veranda and broke. that made it about 33 or 34 years old. I hope you get to enjoy yours for that long. They are great fun.

[Striker (Tony)]

Elizabeth,

Dont listen to Paul...what a nightmare owning the same scope for 34 years.

Tell your dad you need and upgrade atleast every 2 years.

ps. Tony's right about the Naglers too....
