The strangest thing happened to me today... 2 days ago i ordered my first scope the skywatcher evostar 90 been looking really forward to getting it blah blah blah. As i was walking to work today i saw a box sitting just under a bush funnily enough guess what? its a telescope :0. seeing it just sitting there i had to have a look inside its probably just a box someone has through out of the window in a passing car? But no! inside was a newly wrapped 76/350 Dobson telescope i just cant believe it is fate real? seems like the astronomy gods are pulling me in.

Sounds like a lazy postman to me...

you would think that but on the other side of the box there is mould and the sheets inside are too very strange!

These Nat Geo scopes dont have a good reputation. Probably best to stick it back under the bush.

Off topic somewhat.... But here goes. I got on a bus in Southampton and on my way to buy a Donkey Jacket. At the next stop a bloke I hadn't seen for years got on, his first words to me we're "do you want a donkey jacket"....OK, I'll fetch my coat.

I've just bought a second hand video tripod from a friend who was getting rid of his to mount my ST80 on. Serendipity is a wonderful thing!

If it was on public land I hope you will take it to the local Police Station, they may want to look into it

I went to the doctors the other day and I asked if he could give me something for my stomach .... he gave me a pie !

My brother went to the same doctor two days later and said he needed something for wind ... the doctor gave him a kite !

I dont know, what is world coming to ?

Nice find with the telescope though.

I agree. Its sounds stolen and they stached it under a bush to come back the next day.

The value of it may not be much, but if the cops find the culprits............thats worth it.

Sorry, but if you found it under a bush............its stolen and the culprits will return to go on to sell it for a few quid.

The Nat Geo scopes have plastic lens and are considered a toy.

I agree, bad jokes aside, let the police know and theyll be able to advise.

cheers

Given how poor these scopes are it was probably fly-tipped

if it were a Takahashi TSA-102S under the bush, now that would be a find lol

Pop it down to the cop shop, if no one claims it within 90 days, it's yours anyway.

Worked for me a few years ago when I found just shy of £200 in £10 and £20 notes blowing around. Everyone said I was too honest, my way I got paid AND had a clear conscience!
