Ok, providing my offer is accepted, I'm the proud owener of a 150mm F5 Newt 1/6th with a 1:10 crayford, should be ok for wide field stuff and be very portable, everyone say ahhh.

Now do I sell the ZS66 or the 80mm Guide scope?  Or keep them all and never have to change things over again?

Chris

P.S. Spacedog was 1 a little while ago, forgot to tell you.


Mike

OOh nice kit.

Happy Birthday Spacedog !

hmm, he's grown a bit.

No chance of us catching him running round the field at DSC any more :(

Rocket Pooch

Dude he's 36kg now as well, you should see him jump up at people under 5' 6".

Ian

that's my kind of dog. Don't get me started on Yorkshire terriers...

Happy birthday, Frodo.
He looks a bit unpredictable in that photo!

Happy Birthday Frodo !

Reminds me of Basil, the poodle we had when I was living with my parents, he looks exactly the same.  They are wonderful dogs, highly intellegent and very allergy friendly if you suffer from asthma like me.  Trouble is they have to have a ponsy hair do every now and then.

He's a labradoodle, nothing ponsy about them, honest.

RobertM

Lovely dogs, hope you bring him down to DSC ...

He has been at the last four I have attended  :o

Chris,

with your post title, I think a lot of people thought you & Karen were adding to the family, in a nappy, bottle, kind of way.

Not a new telescope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I must admit that was my first thought.
