:hi:
Just a quick hello from a long time lurker doing his bit for the 1000 members count.
Although a mate of mine has been a very enthusiastic amateur astronomer forever, I have only recently taken more than just a passing interest. (Having children with a keen interest also helps!)
I purchased my "Mighty Mak" last Christmas and am really pleased by the quality of the optics.
From my lurking I see many members have large Dob's and SCT's. I would be interested to see how many Mak owners are out there and what they like (or not) about these scopes.
Ooh.. and Adam, I've finally come in from the cold:)

Cheers
Mal

Welcome Mal!

I have a little 102mm Mak, and the best thing about it is its size. Small enough to take absolutely anywhere, yet it still has enough power to impress friends & neighbours with views of the Moon and planets: easily shows Cassini, Jupiter's GRS.
