Those of us looking for clear skies will hunt you down if you persist on these purchases and continue to curse the weather. And believe me, there's nothing stranger than an astronomer who has been denied his fix.

STOP IT NOW! please.

PS Congrats on the purchases.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.

Sorry Paul (and others)
but with the weather being so bad it is hard to resist an astro purchase. I think its withdrawal symptoms. Perhaps there is some kind of rehab available ?(such as wife seeing credit card statement!!)

Hi everyone,

Congratulations on the new purchases!!!!!!

Are you going to Pittsburgh John? If you are, Allegheny Observatory do open nights and viewing through a 13-inch refractor. Have a good trip over to PA and best of luck for the Perseids.

Talk to y'all soon,

John
