On November 19th I married my very best friend and this years marks 33 years we have been together and like a good wine we get better with time. (not age because we will be married forever.)
This year the gift she thought of and bought has very special meaning.
At about the age 12 I took a deep interest in physics and astronomy and started asking my dad for a telescope, either for Xmas or my birthday, year after year he did not get it. Then when I turned 16 he bought one, a toy kid scope, he thought it was a good fit for me.
Once married and early in our marriage I mentioned a telescope now and then and I never realized my wife was really paying attention, to the type and model.
This year she handed me her phone and on it was a telescope and she asked if it was the right one. My eyes filled with tears, I had not mentioned a telescope in 10 years. It arrived yesterday and I spent the better part of 2 hours assembling it, I have to read the instructions sometimes 2 times to ensure I do it right. Today I balanced it.
I do not understand how it is portable, it weights at least 75lbs. It's an Orion SpaceProbe 130ST, I plan to use my Canon camera to take some photos and videos.
It is overcast right now so nothing planned.
I have the best wife in the universe, and she forever has my heart.
