Good idea davy. With a job like yours you need to protect your seat from greasy clothes.

Like Ken - some decent bloody weather. Chocs and some books. No astro gear this year. Plus my birthday was only 10 days ago - got an off axis guider.
Mind you I could do with some new shorts.

Hopefully all will contribute some cash to supplement me buying one of these ... I'd thought it would be good to try out some HEQ5+Toaster+modded Canon with the f/2 camera lens. Although before spending the dough I think I am going to run my tests on F ratio first as mentioned in another thread! The Samyang 135mm f/2.0 ED etc is the same lens from the same mob who sell it as the Samyang in some parts and the Rokinon in others? www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1110672-REG/rokinon_135m_c_135mm_f_2_0_lens_for.html?sts=pi
