Well....😁

Anything arrive on your doorstep yet....😊

Mark, not sure how I missed this (!) but good for you :D Your friend Henry is quite the fellow. That's great, having a friend who's that close.

Hope you get a mount for it; best of luck!

No not yet but I have hopes that I might soon. Still Astronomics has not said anything even though my Friend said she would get on it before the sale ended. If anyone has a real friendship with Sara Evans the Country star you are free to ask as supposedly it was Sara that said she would get it for me. My Astronomical society says I have been played for a fool so we will see one way or another.
