Hi all after waiting for a few months now lyra as shown her self,and what a thrill she was wow weeeeeeeeee ,i ran in side once a seen vega pop in up above the forest at the back of my house the tingle on the back of my neck was unreal.tea in hand and the daggers of the mrs i shown her what all the fuss was about in my books ,her lifted eyebrows said it all.an hour or so later there lyra was in all her glory,hands shake in a leveledb both the gemreds,spun the base round lifted the icy tube up to 23 degrees and held my breath scanning between sulafat and sheliak i checked sterluruim, for the numbers ,spun the base and a tweak of the tube and there it was the best dohnut i have ever seen.

m57 the ring neb,if any one rembers the old he man cartoon,by the power of grey skull and the big bolt of lightning,let me tell ya i felt the tingle of that flash people have told me its just a round smudge, its not it does have a a hole in it plain as the hole a once had in my shoe ,that a side the doubles of lyra are great to at and there`s, a double double a gap of course but they was easy they form part of the little triangle of stars around vega easy to see tonight with the old eye balls,the gemred with the sensor works a treat the angle one for the tube works well similar to the wixey ,ive seen one and they are a bit naff looking the gemred just feels abit more solid and heavy ,well to sum tonight up the ole ring neb wow its really set my passion on fire for the stars above for any one thats never seen it make a note to have a look next time it will surely turn grown men to tears we are truly blessed us on earth to see these things and a feel it humbles me to think were just a tiny litle blue ball whizzing through space,we get caught up some times with life and forget about where we at in the grand scheme of things . if there a sgl award for the biggest smile its got to be my award tonight rember tonight the 4th saturn is gonna be out and on show all night it is on oppssition

thanks still smilling pat :D
