Jammy Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 My fault. Been waiting a month for my scope. It's finally arrived; and it's brought some large clouds along with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanmatt Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Can you all stop buying things please? My scope is about to become a rather expensive clothes horse and climbing frame for my 1 yr old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.A.M Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 People with new telescopes, can you open the boxes quickly so the 'Box of Clouds' (that comes with all new scopes) does not escape:D I have had my telescope sitting in its box on the settee in the lounge for nearly a week wanting to go out. Finally had to move it today as the wife was getting fed up seeing a great big box (as she calls it) sitting in the lounge with us.If there are still clouds around early next week, you can blame me as I am expecting a new scope to arrive, once Ian King has the goods delivered.Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroMum Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 heh heh!I saw my 1 yr old get the EP out of the box and chew it. He gets more fun and use out of it than I do Eeeek! My kit is in the dining room where the toddler isn't allowed. He's seen the mount a couple of times and seemed a bit awed by it, but I wouldn't trust him near he scope or small accessories. Toddlers just love destroying things..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Kick Drum Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 The Wife has just joined the cloud appreciation society, I've told her she shouldn't be encouraging them.............Rather than appreciate clouds, I tolerate them when there is a full Moon.That's as far as I can budge on the subject!
