Not sure if a thread like this was started already, but I couldn't see one.

Who's got something coming from Santa tomorrow?

I have :D

It's a secret of course (it's a GSO 200mm / F5 / 1000mm Newtonian to upgrade my first telescope (130P) and a MPCC-III coma corrector).

Exited to get it set up, although when the weather will be good to use it is anyone's guess at the moment.

So come on, spill the beans. Who's got some new astronomy equipment coming and is it a present (or a gift from yourself to yourself)...

Merry Christmas!

I've had some early Christmas presents today and one of them was Sky & Telescope's moon map. I am really chuffed with it, the craters are very clear to see on it, I've already picked out a few reading indoors that I know the shape of but did not know what they were called. :smiley:

yeah I know what you mean. It's in the house, been here for a while, tucked under the stairs. I'm just not allowed to touch it until tomorrow. Closest thing I could get was to add to my sig (well spotted), can't wait to set it up and get using it. I'll be praying for some clear nights before it's time to get back to work...
