Time to say goodbye and sell up

[Alfian]

Best Wishes Scott in all that the future for you and your family brings. As others have said, binoculars can be a surprisingly satisfying instant fix, so keep your hand in (or should I say your eyes) from time to time, when it allows. Don't treat this as a goodbye , just a sabbatical. My sabbatical lasted almost 50 years so never give up.

[Mr Spock]

Best wishes for the future.

I'm sure it will only be for a while though. I've been in and out of astronomy many times over the last 40+ years due to one thing or another. Still keep coming back

[Gina]

All the best in your future life Scott and hope to see you back here when the time is right

[Dave Lloyd]

Catch you later

[SloMoe]

I think I know why you're doing this and it isn't because your getting chained down, 

It's Nibiru isn't it, you've seen it and the government is making you hush and move on.

 

 I set everything down twenty years ago then one afternoon I was just a walkin' along and WHAM ! Like a brick to the side of my head, went out bought a 5" SCT then with in about two weeks I had an 8" SCT then a month later I had an empty bank account and a full set of eyepieces with every new tech filter,,,,,,,,

 

I should get married again,,,,,,, 

Nah, need a filter wheel, filter slide and maybe a quark, and some other stuff,,,,,,,,,,,

maybe a 12" SCT,,,,,, or maybe I'll launch my own space telescope, or the less expensive plan of just buying an old surplus ballistic missile, a can of air and a couple of MRE's fly up there and see everything better!

Good luck Scott!

I know you'll be back.

Thank you for all the kind words folks, it is very much appreciated. 

I will actually stick around here anyway from time to time to 'keep my eye in' so to speak.

I also still have my OTA, imaging rig, mount & full spectrum DSLR for sale, so if you wish to have a look, or spread the word that would be good    

Clear skies ...........

Thanks to some of the kind members here I have sold some of my stuff this week, and still have my OTA, mount, autoguide kit and camera still for sale.

I invite all to check the kit out and see if any of what's left fits your needs....

 

Clear skies
