I have been busy with other expensive hobbies, spent my radio money on a new Telescope. Bought a new Meade LX200R GPS 8" scope and have been spending my nights with it and spending a lot of time on the Astronomy Forums. I Really enjoy astronomy and this scope really makes it easier for me, It aligns itself the hand control had a 150,000 object data base, the goto feature it outstanding. When I tell it to go to a galaxy it is centeren in my eyepiece everytime. In 10 mintues I can see more things than I could see all night with my old scope. Can't wait until I can take it camping to some real dark skies. The other thing that is keeping me busy is my Sons LaCrosse, his last 2 games are today so then I can get back to camping.
