Slightly off topic, but just had a look at my escapades from the 2008 astrofest with the Burgess  :-?
Nearly 4 months for delivery then another month for replacement element  :(

Oh ok, I have ordered the QSI 583WS. All day I had not made a decision as it is very expensive, looked at the other camera's & really went there not knowing if I would order anything or nor.

It was only having a good chat to Nik, and his friends, that convinced me it would be a good purchase, as they all had one & were very pleased. Does not alter the fact that I am a bit spooked by how much I spent...I will get over it

Looks like the knitting will be coming out, anyone for a jumper with matching scarf for Christmas, as I'm now taking orders and by all the gear that has been purchased recently I'll be busy..........Pearl one, knit one...............  ;)

Well done Fay on your purchase. :D
