Glad you're being sorted, KW!
A few years ago, I saw a super telescope in a local charity shop, they wanted £15.00 and I wandered on, thinking a bit on what it could do, as we have a south-facing conservatory, so the night sky is fabulous! After some 'umming and aaring'. I went back a few days later, and asked to look at it again. The lovely lady explained that just only a few minutes ago, the original owner had returned very sheepishly, to deliver all the lenses, caps etc, which he'd just found in the boot of his car! I was none the wiser, but I gave them £20 for the lots and came home to set it up. bought it, hoping Mrs Growster wouldn't mind. (She didn't)!
So, that night, during one of the coldest nights ever, I set the thing up to look at the moon. It was stunning, beautiful, enigmatic and just an amazing sight...
...but my teeth were chattering so much, I missed all that, and after several nights of below-zero temperatures, I just admitted defeat, asked Patrick Moore to forgive me and put it back in its box.
When I retired later on that year, I packed up all the company's books, which was part of my job, and began to look around for a treat for one of my partners, who is a keen photographer, and we often chatted about long shots etc. So the telescope went in the same box, and I never told him that he was the new owner.
Of course, he found out a few days later...
I was so pleased to do this, and so should you, because some budding astronomer, maybe a youngster, will just adore it! (If it's an oldie like me who gets it, you may well get it back one day..;0)
