More astronomy stuff
Jan. 25th, 2011 11:45 amSince I had to jump on the used optical tube (he got another offer on it about 10 minutes after mine), and it's scheduled to be here via UPS on Thursday, and the sale price on the accessories I have decided ends Feb 10, and my primary financial goal will be met with Friday's paycheck AND I have cash in the bank to pay for it, I went ahead and ordered the eyepieces, power cable and dovetail plate that are on sale. It all came from an Amazon Marketplace seller (Orion) so I also get a 3% kickback on the Amazon Visa card.
Still not ordered is the tripod and computer base, but I won't order those until I get past payday, shake everything out and confirm that I can pay for it all with cash and still leave a reasonable cushion in the account.
Since I'm piecemealing this together, I want to get all the parts together within the next couple of weeks so that I am still within the return window if I need to exchange anything to get stuff working.
Once all this stuff is here, hopefully the new IRS schedules and forms will be out and I can figure out what I need to do between then and April 15. And I have to get started on financial goal #2, which will come with its own guidelines, yet to be defined.
