On your telescope, maybe you could start saving for it yourself? Even just $10 a week in a jar. Don't know how many weeks it would take, but at the end of that time you would have it all on your own. Your H's opinion wouldn't be so important then.
HI Pie,
The telescope thing is cool. Just put together one we had brand new in the basement for many years last week. Never got aroung to assembling it because of time but now without W being here we mysteriously do have time for this kind of stuff.
My sons all loved it. It is not huge or anything but we could see Jupiters moons easily and the Pleiades star cluster which looked awesome.
What Model/Manufacturer would you be saving up for? I am just curious and would encourage you to make it a goal too.
Just one of those fun times that the W missed out on again.
