Default New scope in Florida?

Who in Florida just received their 16" LX200??? I can't think of any
other reason we would be hit by two hurricanes in a row, and possibly a
third in less than 30 days.

Lucky enough not to be one of the 3 million without power in FL,

Okay, it was me, but it wasn't a 16" LX200. It was from finally
getting a plate to put my old scope onto my new mount (that was
Charley), then finally getting my PST (that was Frances).

I'm expecting my SM40 to get here the same time that Ivan does!

Curse you!! You should be ashamed of what you are putting us through....

Okay I admit it, I helped.. I have a new LX90 and just received a few
more eyepieces.

good luck through the storm.

Hi:

Nope...I figger it's a delayed reaction to Tom C. completing the 42 inch BEAST
down at Chiefland. Afterall, we really weren't in hurricane season when it took
first light! ;-)

See this page:

Even though I ain't a dob kinda guy, I was impressed by my looks through this
scope. How could I not be? ;-)

Peace,
