Oh well, at least you had the decency to apologise, unlike some people who have the gall to exhibit *pride* in acquiring their cloud-inducers.

"""Not THE 8" LX90 on special offer by any chance was it?""" Yup, the cheapest I've seen is £1435 from: http://www.skyviewoptics.co.uk/new_page_5.htm Wasn't much in the mood for waiting for delivery (should have with the clouds) and took a drive to Venturescope where they did it for £1499 which is consistent with most offerings since 8 March. Both include the Lunar Planetary Imager, and UHTC coating. Regards Chris "Pete Lawrence" wrote in message ...

So you're responsible for Central England's cloud cover? "Malcolm Stewart" wrote in message ... "Chris Taylor" wrote in message news:Ls39c.653$yb.81@newsfe1-win... My fault, I bought an LX90 today... Don't leave me out - on Thursday I bought the new DigimaxT 40 & adaptors so that I can use my Coolpix 4500 to take astro photos. So far though, I've had to confine myself to diatoms through my microscope, or just using the 40mm Plossl by itself to copy slides. First results are very sharp indeed, so all I need to do now is to wait for clear skies. -- M Stewart Milton Keynes, UK www.megalith.freeserve.co.uk/oddimage.htm http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/ms1938/
