16" bits and pieces

[Darkplague]

For anyone interested here is a picture of my Suchting mirror and
a picture of some other gear which I gleaned from Astromart these past weeks.

The finder is a Stellarview sparrowhawk, and is supposed to be a very good mini refractor in its own right.

The argo Navis just came in last week. It took 10 weeks to arrive from the US.
Somehow the sender in the States got the idea that I wanted it be sea mail and thats how long it took :(

For an extra few dollars, I could have had it sent by regular USPS air mail and have had it in my hands in about 1 Week.
