I'm just about to start a new adventure into the joys of a newt. I bought one here recently too, a vixen 130 f/5. All of my OTAs to date I've been running on my severely under capable 4se alt-az mount but the sheer size of the newt means it really is time to save for a new mount. I can't wait to give it a run though.
It's good to hear that somewhere in Australia the crops are good. Hopefully it won't be too long till the drought breaks in the rest of the country and everyone can have bugs. A small price to pay. Anyway, good work on helix and I look forward to seeing more from the newt
