It's that time of year again...:biggrin:

What is on your Christmas wish list that you can persuade your "Best Beloved" and bank manager is a really really, absolutely important and necessary MUST HAVE...:wink: :wink: :wink:

I need some killer eyepieces. Nagler, Pentax.

A solar max 60 from Coronado.

Some binoviewers.

A paramount M.E.

A SCT 12 or 14 inch preferably with Hyper-star.

An STL11000

Realistically, I will probably get a cologne, a Chelsea football club calendar (my aunt always sends me one from England even though I'm 34 now, lol), and some socks and jocks.

Oh well, I can handle it.

I suspect some socks, polo shirts, 2008 Astronomy almanac and possibly some nature/travel docos DVD's :biggrin:

One good thing this Christmas my wife has been crying out for a point and shoot digital camera {been wanting one as well :itsme!:}. So I have been saving away and brought a little canon 100sx for her, it features some handy manual controls and a good zoom range, should be in the good books with her :biggrin:

Oh Dear, santa,

"A reminder that I am still on a rolling Xmas strike until you tell me where the 2" cloud filter I wished for in 1975 is..."

Legal action by my QC is impending. Merry Xmas.:wink:

I have asked Santa for a goto refractor scope about 100mm will do but realistically I will probably get my Playstation1 back from my daughter some jocks, sox (really need some new boots play havoc) lunch at my mother-in-laws in Yeppoon a lung full of secondhand cigarette smoke from my brother-in-law and maybe I might even go fishing if I am lucky.

oops almost forgot I would really like some cloudless nights when I get back PLLLEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSE Santa.

So I take it this is your daughter's way of saying her playstation needs upgrading? :biggrin:

Dave did you just update that photo? Because I saw it yesterday and didn't notice the Santa Claus part. Just looked again and there he is.

Nice touch.
