No problems once I take delivery of my mount I am sure I will run into trouble and need some help.

Nice, I've heard these LP scopes are well built. I'm sure there are plenty of good times coming up once the mount arrives.

Michael I only have my old mead 4500 to compare against but this thing feels tight with no play at all. I actually freaked myself out the first time I used it I was turning the left focus knob and went for the right knob with my other hand. I thought the free spinning 10:1 was going to take skin off my fingers. It is quiet and because of the black colour it looks stationary.:thumbsup:

I am impressed with L.P. telescopes. I have one of their 80 mm /500 mm. achros with FMC lens. It has excellent build qualities. The images are almost equal to my S.V. 80mm Night Hawk achro. Just as a side issue - the L.P. possls appear to have equal good optical and build qualities. I have the 17 mm version called the 'Sterling'. It is FMC with a 55 degree FOV. Mine gives good contrasty images that are sharp on and off axis. They get good reviews on the C.N.s forum. Andrews have a L.P. 'planetary' E.P. version which appears different to the Sterlings - so unsure of availabilty of the Sterling possls.

Hope you enjoy your scope. A review would be great.
