and here's a Piccie of me, with one of my babies... the 10" Meade LX200..
yes... that is ski gear i have on, as it gets down to 0C
where we observe from with the WAAC'ers.
and also attached a photo of my little baby... "backup" scope.. a 5" G5 Celestron. This one is great for observing the moon with, and is so light and easy to carry...
