Hmm, maybe your last line is better. A collaborative effort. Incidentally, my faltmate who has just moved out really did leave behind a telescope for looking at stars, but I think it's missing something important, like a lens or whatever. And it doesn't get dark until about half past ten in this midsummer season on our small island in northern Europe.
