The "show us your (lickable?) OG" thread

[JeremyS]

With the rainy weather here, and inspired by @mikeDnight's post on mouthwatering, and potentially lickable, refractor OG's:

I thought I's start a thread on pics of refactor lenses. If we get enough posted, perhaps we can ask @mikeDnight to select the top 3 most lickable....

[JeremyS]

so here are some of mine

Well the pubs open, off you go then, then you have an excuse Jeremy.

Or are we over Caffeinated ☕ today instead?

As to the thread, it is not as Takky as I thought it might be.

Now off to picture my front element......... sounds very Carry on Astronomy to me!

Just been looking at some snaps of the lenses of my scopes on my phone but none of them really do the wonderful coatings justice so I will have to take some more

Off-scene stage right, Yerkes technician : " I'm sorry, I thought you said a 1metre drill, what are these 'mm' unit things ?"
