    Default Any pics of your gear?



    Hi all,

    Have you any pics of all your gear?
    Here,s mine for the moment.
    The small orange 30x40 scope belongs to my 8 yr old son Aaron,
    along with the 8" beast of a dob and the 127 to the left.
    The rotary bar stool i use with the dob and on the little table are the 2 set of bins along with the barlow, ep,s etc.

    Cheers,

    Steve,..
