I SINCERELY hope its not going to be one of those years!

Just found out the T-Rex mount I had ordered from kkohki.com could not be delivered this week as back-log of pre-orders had become too great (I thought I HAD pre-ordered).

Just as well the TSA120's a bit duff and has to go back.

Maybe our one of our chickens will nest in the Newt and save me the trouble of making a Dob mount.

I'll leave the eyepieces out in case the Possum wants to play with them.:rolleyes:

My sympathies Peter, does look like the gods are against you.

Brave of you to go with a first run product!
Barry at KK seems to know his stuff.
Did he give you any hands-on advice as to how the T-Rex performs?


Had to laugh at this quote form the T-Rex page:

"...when the mad desire surfaces to take your large aperture telescope out on a fun and carefree midnight cruise, look to the T-REX..."

Obviously worth waiting for.

No advice, but I have been trying to get him to make changes to the web-page. I've been trying to get him to post pics of the mounts actually being made. He says the workshop is too 3rd-world looking and would frighten people!:lol: "Dark satanic mills" etc. etc.

I'm also trying to get him to expand the colour choices from Black or White to/or/and Bentley Green & Shiraz Purple.
I am SO bored of black and white mounts...
I don't imagine it costs much or any more to anodize a different colour!
