You’ll have the beastie going in no time, I’m sure!
Yeah I noticed it's very IR sensitive Dunk when I was looking at the trees down the back through the scope. A Baader UV/IR cut filter soon fixed that.

Well I wanted it from Bintel but they didn't have any, though they could order one in. So I did something I probably shouldn't have and ordered it from Agenaastro in the USA. Unfortunately the GST bit me on the bum, along with a $90 handling fee at customs because it was over $1000 AUD. But I did get it fairly quickly. Would have worked out cheaper at Bintel.
