Unleash the Borg!

Hi All,
I would like to show you my Travelscope kit based on a Borg ED89 F/6.7. It's very light & portable with the entire setup weighing only ~7 kg.
The kit includes: Borg OTA with helical focuser & padded bag; 2" WO durabright diag; Gitzo 2541 tripod; Desert Sky DSV-M alt/az mount; Baader Skysurfer V rdf; & 2 x eps (2" Baader 8-24 mm zoom & 1.25" Edmund RKE 28 mm).
Importantly, I love the optical quality of the objective and with no offence intended to the white tube traditionalists, I'm also rather fond of the Black Borg appearance.
Thanks to the many posts on this forum that informed my decisions on each & every component.
Regards, J.
