Something fun...

After all the running around we've done over the last 10 days, we decided to buy something fun. Thanks to contributions received from work and Philippa...

For those of you of a technical bent, it's a Celestron Nexstar 4 Maksutov-Cassegrain Catadioptric. For everyone else, it's an orange one. It also has a built in computer to settle any arguements over what we are actually looking at. And as luck would have it, it's raining today here in Perth, so we're not going to be able to use it for a few more days.

Tomorrow we're off to Esperance again to pick up our rig. Like proper pensioners, we're taking the Aussie equivalent of National Express and spending 10 hours on a bus.
