not bought anything yet, but given the wife a long list of goodies for my xmas list now she is back working, but as the cheapest on the list is £100 so i don`t hold out much hope of getting any of it.

i`ll hold her pressie back to see what i get if anything L.O.L.

Just bought a Telrad, right angled correcting finder scope, Baader UHC-s filter, and an auto focuser. Next up on the list is dew prevention then EP's.

Damn this hobby is expensive, even with the cheap stuff!

That's awesome and cruel, letting you do the hard work of getting it and then nabbing it for a Xmas pressie. Genius! :D

Thanks for the reminder, need to call them and cancel my recurring subscriptions : decided Astronomy Now is sufficient for me

That's a good star atlas, you got a good deal there, with magazines as well. You will have some good reading over Christmas.

At least the star atlas is useful, last year I got some pink plastic fluffy handcuffs.

I normally get garbage, this was a really thoughtful gift. :)

Mrs Baz has given Santa permission to deliver me one of these, a upgrade for the Crayford focuser on my Dob.

I'll let you know if they are as good as they look, but if it is then it will make getting the focus bang on real easy, and without having to fork out loads for a Moonlight one.

What, the star atlas or the pink plastic fluffy handcuffs?
