New AP scope arrives

I just bought Glenn's AP130 GT. Its in brand new condition.

Its quite light and beautifully made.

I have a photo of it attached plus another one next to its smaller sibling a CFF 105 F6.

I am looking forward to first light with this scope. Its going to be setup piggy backed on my AP Riccardi Honders at first and then I'll be taking it with me to my dark site.

I want it setup like an FSQ130 which it can be made to be similar (faster at F4.5).

Let the clouds roll in!

Greg.

Well done! ...acquiring AP glass is always worth crowing about

So is Glen OK? Does he have some sort of health problem that meant selling the AP130 was prudent? (I can't fathom any other reasons )
