Glad to see the sun shining your way a bit...

A telescope huh? That's cool!

My WH and I once had the pleasure of borrowing a friends 10 inch Celestron scope for a few weeks and saw a beautiful heavenly vision(Saturn)and it's rings.It was glorious.

ss:

I think the progress that *I* have made that's contributed 2 the progress *she* is making consists, most constructively, of my finally, FINALLY 2 have become able NOT 2 OBSESS about what may or may not be going on behind my back.

doesn't mean it isn't, like I said (and you repeated) regarding letting me have what I *want* so that she can do what she wants. I know that's a possibility, but I choose not 2 give a flying hoot about it, 'zall. If contact continues, or even if the A resumes, at some point I'll know, and I'll deal with it then.

Right now, I trust Penny's instincts, and that is that the A was over around August last year, and that contact most likely ended in August this year.

No certainties. No promises. Finding "comfort" even without those is something I've learned how 2 do. And it's not just helping me, it's helping her 2 help herself.

The "confined space" is 4.5' x 4.5' by 21" high, in the roof of the house. My 12" Cassegrain won't fit (2be is 5' long), but a 14" Schmidt Cassegrain might. I'll have doors below where I access it from the attic, and there's a roll-off hatch cover above that accesses the sky! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> . Once I put something up there, I'm not going 2 move it. Will probably weigh around 200lbs.

best,
