A very Merry Christmas to all!

I was very lucky and got a copy the Dobsonian Telescope building book by Berry and Kriege, a new 15mm TV Plossl and a new to me 7mm Baader GO and 9mm University Optics Ortho.

I am kidding myself that this completes my eyepiece buying for good.

The Cheapskate...

He saved himself quite a few quid by coming a day late once the sales had started...

A new Full HDTV for the bedroom to replace the old HD ready one......

Internet connection, HD Tuner etc...

I havent plugged it into the PC yet catching up on I-player with it at the moment...

Sounds like most people got some good stuff, just wish Santa had dropped these down my chimney as well, but for those struck down with illness hope it passes soon. You know what your mums used to say "Nothing like getting out of the house and get some fresh air" - Time you use your scope.

I don't want to upstage Lewis, but I went the whole hog and got me a shiny, new wife. We got married quietly on Xmas eve - v romantic. The sweetheart (Tricia) bought me a mini Giro mount for my travel scope and PST, oh and a pair of leather Ugg boots - toasty.

From the Mrs I got a Canon 1000D, remote timer and an IOU for a 2" T-mount adaptor and LPR filter (as soon as FLO are back in the new year), plus a really great book of astroimages: 'Voyager' by Stuart Clark from my Sister.

Best Christmas in years,

Rik
