It is a cute little scope Gabby, but I think the accounts department might notice if I used it as an ornament...

Tempting, but I think I would go for the Takahashi FS-60CB (on special at the moment here in Oz) if I was going to spend that sort of money on a 60mm scope.

Mind you, if someone wanted to give me one for Christmas... :banana-dance:
Telescopes: 12" f5 dob, Celestron CPC800, 150mmf5 Celestron achro, Tak TSA102, TV76, ETX125...
Binos: Steiner Wildlife XP 10x26, Swarovski 8x30 Habicht, Zeiss SFL 8x40, Vanguard Endeavour 10.5x45, Fuji FMTR-SX 10x50, Tak 22x60, Orion Resolux 15x70
Eyepieces: way too many (is that possible?), but I do like my TV 32mm plossl, 13mm Nagler T6, 27mm Panoptic and 3-6mm Nagler zoom, plus Fujiyama 18mm and 25mm orthos and Tak 7.5mm LE
