Marks & Spencer selling telescopes now
I was in M&S in Manchester yesterday and they had a display set up with
2 telescopes on it. One was a 50x350 refractor for £35 and the second was an 80x400 refractor for £79. The second had 6mm and 20mm eyepieces, a table top tripod and a carry case. Searching on the M&S website I found one of them http://www.marksandspencer.com/IWCat...uct_Id=1195152 but I think they've got a picture of the 50x350 with the specs of the 80x400 because the one I saw was all black.

Netto has got full size Saturn Five rockets for £39.99 for a box of six. Lunar modules are extra - they have to be specially made 'cos they were actually only ever a figment of NASA's imagination. Paul Toy`s `R `Us are selling Millenium Falcons and Enterprise`s at really cheap prices. Don`t mean I`m gonna nip to the next galaxy and say hello to the reletives in one!

Bill So are the Science Museum - one for 40 quid, another for a tenner. They should know better - but I haven't been for 15 years and hadn't realised how sad the place had become.

Bill Well, just look at apertures of those instruments! Where else can you find an OTA with an aperture of 400mm for under £100? --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
