I'll start.
I have a nice shiny pair of 15 * 70 Binos, so i'd put that at about two weeks worth of rain.

Mac.

Ps dont forget, the weather runs in series not parallel.  :lol:

If you need the calculation, its Magnification * Aperture  / 150. the answer is in days, so mine is 15 * 70 * 2 (2 because its a pair) / 150 = 14 days.

I still blame Mick.  It hasn't stopped raining since he moved in. 
There must be something VERY special about that house.  What hasn't he told us?   

RobertM

He may have moved in a while ago but has he stopped pimping it ?

I have sold and bought a few things recently but there is no net gain so I see that as weather neutral :)

Yes, Larry additions could count.  Do they include an observatory dome?

It's not my fault, it's not my fault  :cry:

I blame the women, sitting there trying to look innocent  :-?

Fay with her "It's not for astrophotography" new camera
Kylie with her full set of kit - aided and abetted by Carole
Delphine, Miriam and Sue must be guilty of something, they look guilty  ;)

I'm not pimping it, I'm trying to make it watertight so it floats  :P

Not quite  ;)

But you have built an observatory (is it operational yet?) and that certainly counts.

I'm afraid I have bought myself a 2nd hand OSC a couple of weeks ago.  Not had a chance to try it out yet duh!!!

Not guilty yet - but I am planning to buy a new telescope.

Nothing new my end.
In fact, due to being stupidly busy with work and not having a chance to get the telescope out in months now can that be counted as minus rainy days?  :-?
Shoot for the stars, reach the tree tops!

Quotenot having a chance to get the telescope out in months now can that be counted as minus rainy days?

Not a chance.
