Pony Club 14th April 2018 - Welcome to Rod's New SDM Telescope!
Hi everyone,
I am thrilled finally to be welcoming the arrival of my new SDM telescope, The Glenfallus, on Saturday 14th April 2018.
This 20 inch f/3.8 beauty has all bells and whistles, including ServoCat. With its shorter focal length (compared with the Mary Rose), most observing can be done without a ladder, which will come as a great relief to my creaking knees.
Peter Read is delivering The Glenfallus on a New Moon weekend, and so we thought we would make the most of the opportunity and bring it up to the Pony Club (assuming the weather gods are on our side) to put it through its paces.
Peter will be coming to the Pony Club with me, providing a great opportunity for anyone who wants to talk to the master scope builder in person.
Post on this thread if you would like to come along and share in the excitement!
