I'm taking the day off work to go and pick up my Skywatcher 10 inch Newt and EQ-6 PRO which has finally come in! :jump2:

Hey great the clouds may head your way !!!

[Rhino1980]

There has been nothing but murky skies here for months, hopefully its almost run its course!

Yer gunna have fun! :thumbsup: Are you going to look through it or photograph through it?

[Rhino1980]

Both ;), and can't wait!

I am thinking that with such a large aperture I can do shorter, unguided exposures until I can afford a GS and A-guider.

We also retained our little 130mm Newt which will make a great little astro-photo scope to start with too. We have a 400D to jam in the focuser.

Congrats on purchase of new scope Ryan, you'll be wrapped.
Should bring it up the Pony Club for a test run under clear skies?????;)
Make sure you give it first light to get used to and ward off those clouds before the new moon.
10" dob-good pick.:thumbsup:
Cheers Rick (remember at Lostock last met):)

G'day Rick! Good to hear from you. Thanks for the encouragement. Pony Club could be on the cards, just gotta see what the roster's like (new job).

[Rhino1980]

Its freakin huge!!! And it came with bonuses too! For the same price I got the white mount and the Black Diamond OTA with the upgraded focuser! I also bought some EP's and a laser collimator too. Gotta get a power supply tomorrow. Can anyone tell me if those jump starter packs are voltage regulated?
Needless to say I am extremely happy! And a big thanks to Luke at Andrews :thumbsup:
Cheers
