Gary got tired of me moping back into the house after not seeing the Northern Lights, and not seeing the comet, and not seeing the meteor shower, and decided I need a telescope.
It might not do any good for the things I missed but at least I could look at planets with reliable set orbits fully illuminated by the sun.
I scoffed at the idea at first, but last night I spent a good hour looking up used telescopes on eBay. Gary came in after and I asked if he thought a three inch Dobsonian telescope might be sufficient, and he surprised me with “Oh no we need an [x] inch [telescope jargon here] with at least [x] magnification made by [x] brand.”
Bought on eBay, used, I hope.

Oh dear. Well. Good luck with ebay! (or rather, good luck with Gary not making an extremely expensive impulse buy!)
KC – he hasn’t mentioned it again. He did buy better binoculars. I need to see what the moon looks like when it’s in a gibbous phase.
