This is going off-topic but here's the amount of new equipment that arrived in my luggage this week:
-4x binoviewers with 8x eyepieces
-finderscope
-camera adaptor
-4 ultima barlows
-19mm Panoptic
No wonder its raining ya...
The items were all packed into my hand luggage and the customs officer at San Francisco airport sent my bag back and forth through the x-ray. She called her colleagues over and soon there were a group of 3 or 4 staring intently at the x-ray monitor. One of them asked me if there were any gold in my bag. Sigh... I wish there were! Anyway, they let me go without further problems after I told them I have got a bundle of binoculars in there...
We do it in the dark...

Mooey's scope alone will contribute to 203*1/10 = 20 nights of bad weather ...
wahahhaha 20 nights, not that bad la. anyway, i'll leak abit. a 10" dob, a 4" apo and a 3" semi apo is being bought by that institute. together with lots of other little accessories.
Yeah.. at Los Angeles airport my PST case was scanned several times by this lady. Then she asked her co-worker over, a guy, and he immediately snapped, 'It's a telescope!'. He was right, sort of...
Luckily my EPs passed through with no problems as some of them could be mistaken for grenades! The size of eyepieces these days... *sigh*
