New Equipment Halt

[Naemeth]

In a few weeks some work is being done on the loft space which will inevitably bring up lots of dust, and I'm clearing the room to free up some space. As a result, I'm going to have to put on hold my plans for AP until about May time - the 10" dob may have to be stored elsewhere too as it is my only scope that won't go in a case .

The good news is once it's all done I'll have enough saved up to buy everything I've decided on and I can meaningfully say "no more" - until I move to a new place that is (at some point!). There will not be any space for anything else. I mean it this time .

I've heard it all before

I put a hold on all equipment until we've sorted out the house situation...and yes...cough cough!!

[Spikey]

If I had a quid for every time I've heard that one.............

[emadmoussa]

Ah well, I think this is an expensive and room occupying equipment so it's sensible to be put on hold if there's something of urgency going on.

[Moonshane]

personally, I'll never be buying any more astronomy gear.....until the next time that is.

That's an open end, Shane. Could be next year or simply in the next hour

You'd have, I think, £4 from myself alone .

Oh I mean it too, no really I do, enough is enough. I wouldn't have spent nearly as much I hadn't discovered this place, that's a fact.

Not bought any astro stuff for 6months now!

I've sold most of astro gear temporarily and now biting my fingers every time there's a clear sky

Nice one Jonathan, let's wait and see how long that lasts ;-). So we are soon to lose you to the dark side? Another promising visual observer lost to a life of staring and cursing at a screen processing ;-)

I can safely say I've sold more things than I've bought recently. The value may not quite equate but there are definitely more packages being posted than arriving which is pleasing Mrs Maksutov.

I'm enjoying my new decluttered approach, I've got less kit but it is the kit which I've wanted for ages.

I am hatching another plan currently which may involve rationalisation on the eyepiece front. Will tell all once it's come off. Then I shall be joining Jonathan on a kit buying moratorium, until I decide to break it! :-)

Haha no such thing as no more!!!

I gave up buying Astro stuff for lent (even from the classifieds)

My wife gave up chocolate and cakes.

I did suggest that we could get round this pesky pledge by her buying astro stuff and me eating cakes. Problem solved!

Apparently, I've missed the whole point.

I don't want to give up visual and I've no plans to do so. When I was at Olly's place I spent the first night mainly on visual, I did imaging too but couldn't have missed out on visual in skies like that .
