life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a well preserved, perfect body- rather we should skid in sideways, vodka in one hand, chocolate in the other, body thoroughly used up, screaming WOO HOO! What a ride!

Hubby has one of those. He built it himself. He also runs a forum all about it with members from all over the world.
We used to go to the observatory in Hesketh Park with the Southport Astronomical Society as he was a member.
Other times just used it in the garden. It was fantastic on a clear night and the kids enjoyed it too.
Hubby was so interested he took a degree in Astrophysics so officially he's an Astrophysisist. Not sure if that how you spell it as I'm the thicky in the family.
