ok, flocked the Newtonian, there is an un-flocked part at the focuser (I could not work out how to get it off :-(

Anyway, the photo does no do it justice, the flock is black black, and when you now look down the tube in doors you see no reflection.  Well appart form the mirror....

You'll get Blackbirds nesting in there if you leave the cover off !

OK I have to ask... Why do you have TWO printers?

I don't remember saying flock it, after dropping it !

15 in 1 card reader, that's interesting

I have a paperweight with a real scorpion in it. Does that count?

Chris - how did you stick the paper to the tube - is it self-adhesive or did you use some other type of adhesive. If it's not well stuck down the cold, moist nights might make it start lifting off....

Rocket Pooch

John bit of both, around the edges I used glue.

I have 3 printers, 5 laptops, various PC's and a external hard disk.  My card reader is 11-1 :-(



Ian

hmm, no 15-in-1 card reader, but I do have a 6-in-1 plus floppy drive. Instead I raise you a 200ml tin of 3-in-1 oil. And two burnt out 27128 EPROMs.
