Kate & Mike move upmarket

[Bigwings]

Hi guys,

Nobody warned us when we joined the ranks of neby skywatchers that it could get expensive....LOL

The 6" newtonian grew a friend (Mead ETX80) which has now been replaced by a Celesetron 8"SCT all within two months .

Does anyone know if they are taking bids on Hubble???

Ps we are looking for a Reticle eyepiece if anyone has one going spare.

Clear Skies (well not since we got the 8")

Telescopes are like Chinese food - have some want more soon after

As long as they get used lots of scopes is ok

hi mike and kate
