Astro Fate! When it just falls right..

[Fozzie]

So yesterday I was in the loft getting the cases down for next week's holiday, and I thought.. i known I check on the Tal 100rs i have stored up their, just to make sure the box is not getting damp or being attacked by anything.. 

If your wondering why it's in the loft, it's because I bought it when my now five year old turned one, as a gift when/if he's curious enough to want his own scope..  it's "mint" as in I've never removed it from its packaging, seen the lens or taken it out of the green bag.. it will stay that way too.. looks like it was a 2011 scope from the shipping label so will be 13 years old when my son's 10..

Anyways, as I was checking it I thought need to sort a mount for this, and would you have it one pops up in the sale section a short hop over to Burnley.. not just any old mount, a Tal mount for a 100mm refractor...

A bit of astro fate! 

Thought itd be a good thread to see if anyone else fallen on the good side of this?!

I saw the advert and your response Fozzie.
As you say Astro Fate, sometimes it is just meant to be.
I hope the lad enjoys your hard work when the time comes.
Nothing like parent child Astro time.
