Sorry for the clouds guys. My 8" reflector arrived today.

Looks pretty neat if I may say :thumbsup:

The only bummer about is is the instructions on collimating it are in japanese so I'll need to trawl the web a bit (never collimated b4), and I thought I had the right adapters to put a camera into it but I don't, so if it clears up on the weekend I won't get a chance for anything other than visual.

The build quality on it looks nice and it is very light - 5.2kg i think.
