Believe it or Not

My new scope arrived today, a SW 120mm F5 refractor.:D
And it isn't raining, it isn't windy, it isn't even cloudy.:eyepop:
Unbelievable.
The perfect first light!
I even put an eyepiece into the bit where the camera goes, and had a look at M42.:lol:

Congrats on the new scope JJJ.
Which particular set of Gods did you sacrifice to in order to get the good viewing conditions?

[AstralTraveller]

New scope ... no cloud?? I'd check the scope carefully. It's obviously faulty in some way. :shrug: Hope you enjoy it anyway. :)

[jjjnettie]

Well, it does need a new focuser.
I wanted to order a 10:1 micro focuser at the same time as I ordered the scope, but they were out of stock.
I've got to put up with a clunky R&P for now.

Ah ha!! There we go everyone. Disguise your Feathertouch or Moonlight as a plastic R&P and ... voila! clear skies. Too easy. :lol:

Congrats Jeanette, enjoy those views before the weather gods catch up with you.

Cheers
