Flash, get a towel...forget those little refractors, here's THE BEAST !

A quiet afternoon so I spent some time getting ready for next weekend.

- OTA on the mount... inside that Matthias Wirth lid lies a work of art.
- I've moved the finder well forward on dovetail - this turns out to be way, way more convenient than having the finder on the rear end of the scope.
- The business end with a 30mm erfle of some sort,
- Loaded with a turret with a set of Fujiyama orthos and a finder eyepiece.

Interestingly the van Slyke turret requires less backfocus than the APM star diagonal with rotolock does.
