congrats klutz...you have found your true calling and taken the first step for this wonderful hobby....as long as you can keep master jedi weixing company every sat night, he will impart the "force" to you....

but beware the urge to upgrade to bigger aperture (the dark side) will drain you of your force... :lol:

Master Airconvent, you are wrong. Upgrading to a bigger aperture will increase the force in you. The only negative thing is that it will keep you in the dark side.... :P

OK, it is a monster Apo refractor with a green laser pointer mounted.

That will sure demand some respect and awe!

Don't worry, WX! I won't ask you about politics. It confuses me more than the stars... :)

This means I can "date" Weixing every Saturday night... Perhaps I should prepare some nice desserts for my wonderful Mentor, in exchange for all the "forces"..... :)

Btw, my purse will keep my "urges" in check.

Cheers,
Kat

PS : WX, I think I can read the map now.... :D I still can't say enough of it, but really - THANKS!
