I always swore I would never have another Newtonian after the ones I had in the 1980's-1990's, but sometimes you have to reassess things. Star sizes, imaging speed, image scale and many other things are better now and so the possibilities are greater.
The good news is that I have been told between 4-6 weeks from now shipping will occur. I suppose I'll find out soon enough if this promise is to be kept. Fingers crossed.

Hi Paul,
Not many people would spend that much on a Newt. but
it shows that you're on right track.
You'd probably need sub arc second seeing for there
to be any difference compared with that Dream scope.
I think there was one of those being used in Namibia.
cheers
Allan
