What did Santa bring you?

[andyr]

I got a collimator for my 200P, a pair of 10x50 bins and a subscription to Sky at Night, plus other non-astro related goodies. So can't complain.....

[Gladders1980]

I got Haynes Astronomy Manual, and a Planishere to get me started in astronomy only problem is its too cloudy to see anything, but even so reading the book is making me want to go outside and also buy some binoculars

[Dave]

Amongst my other non-astro prezzies, I got the books, Wonders of the Solar System AND Capturing The Stars - Astrophotography with the Masters.

Plenty to keep me occupied on cloudy nights.

Seeing that Santa got stuck in the snow near Exeter, he left my Celestron nexstar 127SLT with those nice people at FLO. I just have to wait till they open again for them to send it on . Meanwhile I'm busy reading some astronomy books Santa did manage to leave.

I knew it was comming, it's taken a couple of days to get it all fixed up into focus etc. (in between chasing after my three kids) That probably explains why the weather was so good on Christmas day and is now rubbish for the foreseeable future.

Sorry

Blu-rays,smellies and a new wool hat. I did also treat myself to a new 46" HDTV and Blu-Ray player a month ago..........so all in all not bad.

Amanda and I managed to unwittingly buy each other the same present!!

We both got an infrared monocular (we're tight and don't want to pay the lighting bills )

Great minds think alike, and dumb ones never differ

The stars on Christmas night looked great

A nice shinny new MN190 and some ADM bits to mount it on my CGEM and a Pier adapter.

Santa brought me a nice new laptop and F1 2010 for my Xbox:headbang:

Astronomy-wise, Santa bought me a 32mm Panaview eyepiece and subscriptions to Astronomy Now and Sky at Night magazines, Wonders of the Solar System book and DVD.

Hi,

Well, astronomy wise, Santa brought me my 1st ever telescope, a SW 150P on an EQ3-2 mount. He also brought Turn Left at Orion, an amazing book. Just too bad that it has been cloudy since Christmas day - I'm itching to get outside - for what I know will be a very frustrating 1st light. Will keep you posted....

Non astronomy, I got a flask and some warm clothing (I guess they are going to be used in line with astronomy) and the New Jimmy Carr DVD.

Happy days

Scott

I got a cloud filter for Christmas. You pop it on and your scope can see through even the thickest cloud.

<wakes up>

I did get some Bahtinov masks, and I would really, really like to try and use them, please, oh cloud gods!!!!

I still have to decide and show her exactly what I want for astro gear, I have nearly made my choices.

But I did get this totally sweet down and feather jacket, it's rated to -5°.

No excuses to be cold out anymore:D

[NickH]

An Android Tablet, Blu Ray Apollo 13 and Blu Ray "Universe" DVD's along with enough ebooks courtesy of Amazon to last me a year
