    Need a hobby



    Refrigeration is taking over my life and I like it but to keep myself sane I must find a hobby,I,ve narrowed it down to cooking or astronomy.Before I start I like to have the best equipment but a new kitchen and appliances is a little expensive.So asronomy it is.I,ve been looking at the sky watcher astronomical telescopes,if anyone could give me some advice on what model would best suit a beginner I would be very gratefull

    Hi mark,

    When do you find the time?

    You are not one of these 9 to 5 people, are you ?

    I agree, its a lovely game, Have you tried it on sand?

    I'll stick to mine -- refrigeration.

    Hi Mark,
    That avatar was taken some 10 days ago near the red sea, Camels are Egyptian I believe.

    Re: Need a hobby

    My hobby is my motorbikes.
    with them being oldish two strokes, they need appx 1 hour's maintainance to every hour riding.
    that's what i tell the wife anyway.

    i can tinker in my garage for hours and hours. the petrol fumes do wonders for clearing your head of the days nonsense.

    cheers

    Hi Bernard,

    When I come to think about it, England is not the place for such a hobby, the sky are 95% of the time covered with clouds.

    Golf seems to be ok.

    Hi Bernard,

    What donkeys? Where?

    These are camels in the picture.

    I do not live by the sea but a 120 KM west, in the middle of nowhere, a bit to the left.

    Our sky are clear at nights for over 300 nights a year.

    Bring your telescope next time you come.
