On rare occasions, I drift into a materialistic frame of mind and, at those times, my thoughts are usually a matter of a new road bike or, especially around the holidays, a new premium telescope. Being that I have a fascination with things small and simple, it is only natural that thoughts of a Televue 76 or Stellarvue APO telescope dance in my head. I really like the idea that these will fit in a Christmas stocking, albeit an extra-large one. That's the idea, though - small, portable, exquisitely made and even optics that outperform typical telescopes of their size. Come on, Santa. I've been a good girl (well, most of the time)!
