I have got a nice selection of gear, and I have been fortunate to pick up some lovely things this last 6 months or so - yes, believe it or not I only got my first scope in February!

I fell on lucky with the 8SE, eyepiece and filter set, 2 x CCD cameras, filters and filter wheel along with other accessories at a ridiculously low price, as it was a friend I bought them from who just wanted them to be used.

I then had my old faithful 80mm frac given to me as it was no longer wanted - still love that little frac lol

The only gear I have bought brand new is my DSLR, binos and sturdy tripod.

As some of you may know, my nan passed away at Easter and I am due a little bit of inheritance from her when it has all gone through probate. My nan was a real character and said she wanted me to enjoy her money and not put it in the "sinking fund", or save it for "never", so I promised myself I would use a portion of it on my astronomy as it is something I love, and I would not have been able to afford the gear without it.

Then Gain mentioned he was going to be selling his WO 110 and NEQ6, and it just seemed to be the right gear for me to grow into with imaging, as well as it being a lovely scope for visual use. Plus, I can use my 8SE on the NEQ6 with more success.

One thing I've learned in life is that you can't take tomorrow for granted, and life is not a dress rehearsal - so enjoy yourselves kids! :)

Very true Vicky! You do right.
