    Broken my right wrist - a fractured scaphoid, no less. Got a cast from knuckle to elbow, and moving the Dob outside is suddenly a big deal. Dammit.

      Yeah, cheers all. I've learned a valuable life lesson; sometimes you have to twist the bottle, not the corkscrew! x

      Sounds like 'fair wear and tear' to me. Have you talked to the C.A.B. about this?

      Yup, was totally lush - apart from the two year old who screamed for small amounts of attention at bed time. For about two and a half hours. Oh, and then a 14 yr old who needed a lift / rescuing having had a fight with her mother. Apart from mental family mayhem, yum.

    As stated the Evostar 90 was delivered, all be it for a birthday as opposed to christmas, to my brother and his little lad yesterday.. Much merryment was had and a few quick looks at the moon which sealed the deal, they are hooked. Everyone (or so i thought) was delighted, on the way home in the car, personally full of stidsfaction from a selfless act i got the "don't think i don't know what your doing... whens the new scope turning up?" I mean now.... really... would i.... Me..

      There was a bit of that, admittedly! 4 screw in hooks, 2 blankets. No more LP from the lounge windows. I'll take some photo's tonight.

    2 year olds are not very helpful with collimation.

      . . . or more specifically, slightly too helpful; I literally caught his 'Bob the Builder' hammer mid swing, aimed at the primary end of the OTA. "Fixing it, Daddy . . ."
