Thanks Col,

After several hours over the past few weeks using Excalibur, I don't think I will ever need to make another scope...

It has shown breathtaking views of the Veil, Grus Quartet, many other galaxies and globulars....

I spent a few hours on lunar views last night using some Nagler/Delos eyepieces...... even at low powers like 233x the detail was the best I have seen in decades of looking at the Moon.

10 minutes to set up and collimate, faster to acclimate than Guinevere by a good margin, sitting at all positions including zenith.....



Next Project: To build a Equatorial Platform for Excalibur, I'm thinking wireless remote control with separate motor for declination adjustments....
