Isn't a bungee cord a fashion statement? I think your telescope is quite fashionable Dan. If it works is the most important. Each year at Riverside they give the Clifford T Holmes Award that recognizes people for finding atsronomical uses for common junk. Onetime Cliffford Holmes was picking up what some one dumped, at the roadside, because he found the junk useful in his ATM Hobby. The Highway Patrol did not believe his story and gave him a ticket for illegal dumping. --- outwest112@yahoo.com wrote: From: daniel turner <outwest112@yahoo.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Advice on Telrad Placement Date: Sun, 19 Oct 2008 11:35:59 -0700 (PDT) Ann: This is a hobby. It's supposed to be fun. Find your own happiness and let others find their's if they can. How a telescope looks has nothing to do with what you can see in the eyepiece. We come together to share our views of the sky, not to make a fashion statment. DT --- On Sun, 10/19/08, zaurak@digis.net <zaurak@digis.net> wrote:

I highly recommend the bungee cord. The only downside is that I have had a few people at star parties ask about the cost of my telescope. It got me to wondering if the bungee cord looks cheap or tacky... But it works beautifully.
