i got a new toy

g"day everybody

i don't know if this the right forum for this maybe it belongs in gadgets. my misses brought me one of these telescopes today " http://www.bushnell.com/products/other-products/telescopes/northstar/788831/ ".for my up and coming birthday.a little early but i am one happy camper.
this should keep me busy for a while just got buy the camera adapter for it.might even tear me away from this thing for a while.:-D:-D:-D

 

That is one nice piece of equipment! I can see you will not be playing with us for a while! :-D That is OK, because you must play with your toys! Yes, I think you will like that one, and if you don't, just holler! roflmao You will be able to count the feathers on the birds with that puppy! CONGRATS!!!

 

yeah thanx for putting me in the right place.
me and the kids will be out there tomorrow night scanning the sky for planet x and you all will be the first to here about it when we find it.

 

Well my friend, it looks like you got that 'toy' just in time for this http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20090...ctedtonight;_ylt=AuEzelBqt8PLhy5Gi9z8REaCfNdF According to that article, the meteors should be visible both Tues. and Wed.!! That is, if you don't mind staying up late

 

g'day Stubby

i would more than likely set the alarm and get out of bed for something like that but i think is just a tad bit out of my field of view here in the southern hemisphere.still there's a lot down here we can still look at.thanx for the interesting link though.
