Ordered a Orion 180mm Mak-Cass today (F15). I have been waiting for a scope like this for a long time. It's kind of my birthday present to myself...?
Most expensive gift I ever bought myself..lol 1248.95 US dollars delivered.

well done and make sure you post the piccies as it arrives, gets opened, gets assembled, gets a big cuddle...etc

I received my 180mm yesterday. Of course the clouds appeared when the scope arrived. I was able to do a quick star test early this morning. Looks good. To be continued.
