We're getting sucked in
Adrian came home today with a serious pair of binoculars he found in a second-hand camera shop.
I've been out looking at Orion - it appears so close I could reach out and touch it.
Steven says he saw a small nebula.

Re: We're getting sucked in
Adrian is talking about starter telescopes.
He was a bit nervous last night that I would complain he'd blown the Disney fund again on the binoculars. I told him we were carpe diem-ing and went outside in my jammies to test them.

Re: We're getting sucked in
don't buy a cheap telescope - the binos are so much better and more portable - I like the carpe dieming but though
