Nice. Out of interest, do you leave you glasses on when looking through bins? My glasses are on and off all night which drives me mad; i'm going to get a thing to out around my neck to hold them.

I've heard of a' Swarm of bees, a ' 'Bevy of swans' and a 'Pride of lions,' but never heard of a

'Table of bins.' 

Where do you eat your dinner, Pete?    In the obsy?

No, I never wear the specs for observing.

I have used glasses for about 5 years now and only for reading. Anything past arms length is perfect without them and seems to be fine with scopes. What is a pain for me, is looking at star maps next to the scope as I need the glasses to use the map. Fortunately I have a very good memory for exactly where stuff is up there and have become very good at star hopping over the last 40 years. I have a pretty accurate goto system in my head

Thanks for your idea of using the glasses strap around my neck. I'd not thought of that and often lose the glasses temporarily whilst looking through the eyepiece, cheers.

My next dinner might be in the dog house.

My wife didn't realise I had so many binoculars and seemed quite disgusted with me when she saw them all laid out on the table. She thought the big ones were from a joke shop and weren't real!

Hi Pete,

 

a great line up, when Andy commented on the number of scopes I had (when I had em) all I said was how many fingers do you have and counted the trinkets !!!

I have things on the table, on the chair and  half way up the stairs at times.   Oh, and in 5 room, a large shed and the garage. 

Gee, ain't your wife just lucky.

I have to leave mine on because I feel very sea sick and fall over if I keep taking them on and off. It's a weird prescription in them, not because I'm strange lol.

Pete, a nice collection there, are the big ones really real? ;-)

Thanks Cazz, there's no fooling you (or Big Al) when it comes to flower vases

The only thing out of place in our house is me.

She soon puts me back in my place though

Cheers Damian,
