Christmas wish list

[CSM]

I am sure that thoughts will now be turned towards a Christmas wish list, and I would very strongly recommend 'An Amateur's Guide to Observing and Imaging the Heavens' by Ian Morrison, published by Cambridge University Press.  It is very up-to-date having been published this year - 2014 -  and covers everything to do with Telescopes, Binoculars, Observation and Imaging, with a final chapter on Spectroscopy.

Whether you are a beginner or experienced astronomer, this is THE book to get.  I cannot praise it highly enough.

Apologies to Ian but his name is spelt with one r - Morison, NOT Morrison.

Looks like it has positive reviews from both Stephen O'Meara and Damian Peach, too.

Thanks for this.

As I missed out on a camera lens on ebay I had the urge to buy something so I just purchased this.

[Tums]

Big Thanks from me too.

Just got it from an online book seller I've used before, lowest price I found as well. Wordery.com £18.73 free delivery. Looks like a bargain to me

It is actually in the right price bracket too. As wveryone knows all ep's and other bits cost no more than 20 quid. Scopes are roughly a 100 unless you buy a posh one where they are 150ish. Anyway at under 20 this is an ideal gift for swmbo to buy for moi, thanks for the heads up. ;-)

Come on gents, it is not even November.

I thought Schiphol Airport was bad enough with decorations up in 2004 on 4th November, If I had not been in the same place on October 24th you could have sworn they were there from the year before.

But since you brought it up I think a 4.7mm Ethos would do rather nicely for me.

^^^This

Exactly. Well said mate

I didn't say anything about mine being a Christmas present, I bought it just because I had the urge to spend money.

I hate Christmas as it goes.

 Humbug, humbug.

Steve, I think you don't always tell the truth

Steve, I think you don't always tell the truth 

I think he's talking about the really, exceptionally posh ones that are £150-ish.
