Big time spender, how about showing us a shot of your rig under "show us a shot of your equipment thread" http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=65

I was thinking of doing that today.

The telescope just looks so damn cool equatorially mounted.

I'll thread my camera on the scope, grab dad's camera, take a shot and post it.

The only thing I'm worried about is dropping the OTA when I assemble and dismantle. It seems like a two person job. I have managed thus far. I can just feel that the OTA is going to drop and shatter into a million pieces.
