Arrrgggghhhhh

After a blissful if not painful few weeks off work following having my tonsils removed, I have now returned to work and immediately traveled to our Italian office.

So of course today, my new scope decides to arrive after 4 months.

How does this work with the clouds though?

Don't expect to be able to use your new kit. It just looks good in the living room.

How does this work with the clouds though?

Simple:

No clouds while you are away and the scope is boxed.

Return, unpack the scope, clouds appear for 2 weeks at least.

Going to Italy will not enable you to avoid the clouds, they are patient and will be talking to the Italian clouds at this moment to know what to do.

It's entirely possible we are cloud-free this evening. I just can't tell for the fog.

What did you order?

[Frank the Troll]

Sorry James, fog is not going to lift - BOO

[imarcs]

What did you order?

I've been wittering on about it at various times on this forum for months since the order back in October. One of these.

New Model - Sumerian Optics

Heres a few pics that Michael (Sumerian Builder) sent me just prior to its completion

Marc,

That scope is definitely worth a good witter. Feel free to witter away especially if you include photos..

The sad truth is though, the more desirable a scope the longer the clouds take to go away. Be prepared for quite a wait

[imarcs]

Don't worry. Come the weekend there will be photos and much more wittering :-)

How long are you away for? I need to know because with a scope of that quality we are looking at some crystal clear skies in England til you return:evil6:

WOW..thats a beautifull looking piece of equipment....

I can't beleive it folds up into a little package like that...amazing!

Marc,

That is beautiful piece of engineering. If it was mine, I'd take it out even if the sky was black with clouds, just to look at it and feel it. Cold shower required..........
