I'm Back!

Been MIA for the past few months but I've not abandoned my blog. Been working through some health issues these past months most recent being a bad back. Anyway......

Santa is bringing me a telescope. Nothing spectacular just one of those Bresser Skylux refractors that Lidl sells most every year at this time. Santa wanted to get me a much more better telescope but I told him I needed something I could handle (bad back, you know) and not too complicated - although that German equatorial mount may give me probs until I get the hang of it. Plus, with the crummy weather we have here I cannot for the life of me justify more £'s for an instrument I'll not be able to use more than a few times per year. I'm really looking forward to doing some active observing.

Happy Holidays!
