I read a book recently that made me think of the concept of absolute motion in a way that made sense to me. Even when I am sitting perfectly still in the comfort of my favourite arm chair, the chair I am sitting on is on a bit of ground spinning round on a planet moving around a star within a universe spinning around..... so when my Mum told me many years ago that I never sit still she obviously knew much more than she was letting on!

I believe Groucho did say that about a few clubs but definitely not this one!

I am really enjoying the 200p and glad I made the choice. Thanks for all your comments and the tip on what to get in the next few weeks, they will certainly will go on my wish list.

Out tonight and just toured the night sky. Absolutely brilliant. Sure you are all doing the same. Is this not the best way to spend a Saturday night ever!

I told the men in white coats to go away and buy a scope of their own!

What I really like about it is you simply carry it out into the garden (which is no effort at all), place it down look at a clear bit of sky then go wow!

To me dobsonian or goto is like a Sat Nav in your car. If you really need to be somewhere in a hurry great. But the real fun is taking a ride and enjoying the view

Hope you all have pleasant journeys!
