Default Astro Stocking Stuffers

A small gong for my desk. Reportedly for keeping graduate students in line

Curse those grad students! Wait...I _am_ one! ;-)

Default Astro Stocking Stuffers

I received a planisphere watch from Orion, a 2" eyepiece extender that I
have been needing and 2 sets of the Orion fosus knobs to replace the factory
ones on my 6" and 90mm refractors.

Not too shabby for a wife who doesn'st do the astronomy thing with me too
often.

But last week I purchased a a Televue 35mm Panoptic, Televue 27mm Panoptic
and a Televue 20mm Nagler Type 2 as my gifts to me!

Merry Christmas and may your skies be dark,

2 books: Hubble: The Mirror on the Universe;
The Universe: 365 Days

A scale model of an 18" truss dob by Barry Crist

And just before Christmas an AP 102mm APO, a William Optics 2"
diagonal, An Orion Skyview Pro mount, and a Wolanski Fine Focus
Adapter. This explains the extremely heavy rain that we're getting
today on the East Coast.

....after all that astro-stuff, I couldn't say "no" to my wife getting
another Border Collie pup! Yikes!!

Cheers and Merry Christmas!

My Sister and her husband are in the process of buying a house and they are
strapped for cash so we decided not to do the gift exchange thing. They gave
me extra coin so I went out and bought a Palm Tungsten T3.
