I have a horrible confession to make and I hope I don't step on any toes, but here it is. Time the world knew about Joanie and her additicion.
I'm a refractor addict. Have been since my first telescope - a cheap 60mm Jason on a flimsy alt-az mount. No way that telescope should have kept me up for hours and hours into the night, long after my mother and the rest of the family retired for the evening. But it did. Just something about that lens at the front that mesmerizes me. At a star party I head for the nearest refractor to drool. The big reflector on the back of a semi-truck I ignore.
What's the cure? Astrophysics, Televue, Takahashi and don't forget ...
