fwm891 Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 20 minutes ago, Graham said: Francis You selling up ???? Hi Graham, Yes in a way. Were moving house, I need a bigger workshop area as I'm now building acoustic guitars and other musical things. I plan to stay with astronomy in a smaller capacity getting a more modest scope/mount combo at some stage. most of the places we've been looking at don't lend themselves to observatories in the back garden either due to size or street lamps.

fwm891 Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Info: The sale of these bits is due to moving house. I'm also involved in building acoustic guitars and other instruments so a larger workshop has become a major priority and most of the places we've seen with the workshop space don't lend themselves to serious astronomy due to street lighting or restricted outside space. You can always buy this place and I'll throw the obsy etc in.... Francis +Graham and catman161 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
