Excellent it arrived.

Now maybe we only have to wait a short time for the weather to clear.

Cheers

This chatising / reprimands of members buying astro gear and causing the weather to unsettle, is beginning to have me believe its real. That it is actually causing rain.
I worry myself now.

I will not tell anyone when I buy some toys next time.

Cheers

The only way to prevent (what looks like) the inevitable is to stick it in a cupboard before you even open it Nettie.

From the title of your message I thought you had lost bladder control JJJ.
Enjoy your new scope and I hope all goes well for you.

JJJ, I love the subliminal message in the photo - 2 nice new towers of brand new astro gear waiting to be unpacked - set against a background of heavy rain clouds. Hmmmm! Was that deliberate?

And here she is, fully assembled.
I'm feeling totally knackered. Time for a cup of tea then I'll plug her in and take her for a test drive.
