I had to chuckle as for a long time I had an 80mm as my only telescope!

Yep, vintage Art Deco uranium glass from Bohemia, and yes, it's very nice. Unfortunately I don't have a geiger counter to put on it, but you'd probably get a bigger dose living in a granite house on Dartmoor.

A reflection of a Bohemian lifestyle, Dave? 😊

Jeremy you may have opened a can of worms.
