Couldn't resist..

Was just mooching on FLO and noticed the BST Starguiders have an offer for multiple purchases. 

So I did the only thing that made sense, I bought the full range! I'm blaming you lot on here for constantly saying they're good value for money and worth having. ? 

Going to need a new case for them all now, curses....... 

[Craney]

You need to 'mooch' with you hands behind your back and your credit card in a high security vault..........

Nothing like a satisfying purchase..... Good work sir.

Not really! We know he went for the lot!  

[Knighty2112]

So what you got to remember is that by spending a lot, you’ve actually saved money!

LoL ...... based on that theory I must have saved a fortune over the past few years ? thank you Gus.

[teoria_del_big_bang]

My better half has told me to start saving so on that logic I had better get my credit card out.

 

[RiponJas]

Yup, full house. Only thing I didn't get was the Barlow. Got a nice one already.

Unless you're in the US, and then it's just £244.41 shipped to the states (no VAT).  With the conversion rate, it's $315, which is still less than buying locally in the US ($420 shipped).  Thankfully, no duties or taxes on anything I've bought from Europe so far.

It was set to the US when I went to check out at first. Noticed the price, very nice for you over there. ?

This here is not a bad representation of aperture fever and the effect it has on your bank account. ?

Indeed it does, so long as the eyepieces you're using aren't too big and heavy. I think the Starguiders are about ideal in terms of both physical size and AFoV.

It will also land you in very deep debt !! Get help now as suggested ! See a doctor and if your married you might see a marriage councelor cause your going to need to know how to explain why you bought astro stuff instead of paying bills . If not married then you need to do credit counceling ASAP  !!
