What would your astro luxury be?

[Helen]

Imagine you're asked the question like they do on Desert Island Discs... If you had £250 to spend on an astonomy luxury what would you buy??

Helen

[SteveL]

oo... good question

- FeatherTouch/Moonlite focuser

[James]

Right now it would go on an au pair/night nurse to help my wife look after the baby so that I could stargaze :?... but a little more seriously, it'd probably go on a downpayment on a 30mm Pentax XW.

I suppose it depends what you already have...

If I already had my kit with me then it would be [almost] skyscan for the HEQ5...

Ant

clear skies.

How many hours would £250 get you??? If she's really nice may only get you 30mins :? So as nice as that sounds, i think i'd blow it on a good pair of 15x70 binos or an 8" dob.

Its only around 50 euros for 30 mins in Spain! (so I,m told).

I wonder seeing as I'm fast approaching 60 if they will let me have by the second billing

[SteelRat]

Already have all the bins I want so...

...£250 deposit on a 110mm APO

[Andrew*]

tough one :scratch:

I've made up a short list:

- 31mm Nagler OR 24mm Panoptic

- WO66 apo for holiday scope

- skyscan upgrade for the HEQ5

- PST 8)

and, last but by no means least,

- a moonlite focuser for the 100mm APO, of course!

Andrew

[The Warthog]

A 5mm Panoptic, and drive motors.

[Whippy]

On the assumption that I already had my gear with me, any of these..

A moonlite focuser for the Newt or a second hand DSLR or CCD.

Tony..

[Helen]

[Astroman]
