Got money to burn?

If you start saving, you could get a 'Caelograph' for Christmas next year...

I was thinking of getting one for a family member who is into astronomy but when I looked at the price tag..

Hmmmm..... think I'd rather have an EQ8 and a plastic biro lol.

Though I accept their convenience and use them occasionally I loathe biros and my favoured writing instrument is a Mont Blanc fountain pen that I've had for almost twenty years.  I am to be fair old enough to have been taught to write with a dip pen (our desks at school even had proper ceramic inkwells).  I think this might be a step too far even for me though
