A few days ago, I bit the bullet and ordered a new Moonlight focuser for my SCT with motorized focusing and wide enough to hold a focal reducer in the body of the focuser. Oh and a nice red colour to match the colour of the moonlight focuser on my refractor.
Then the wait starts and Ron of Moonlight gives a postal tracking number which becomes an obsession to click on it to see where the parcel is at the moment. Until Yesterday all I had were four entries tracing it through the United States system and getting on a plane, then today it had landed and was in Australian customs. I checked later tonight and it had cleared customs and I assume will be in the postal service.
Boy postal tracking really gets the expectation juices flowing and I'm really looking forward to this focuser as it will eliminate some annoyances I've had so far.

Thanks Paul - you will probably see it at Astrofest. At the moment $100AUD = $107US so now is the time to bite the bullet.

Yeah...I once had a CGE1100 that I was tracking. All very exciting until I read it had been delivered to the customer, & yet I hadn't received it yet...:eyepop:;) OPT never did find that shipment. Celestron ended up having to drop ship another unit to me.

Recently I was trying to track some RAM I purchased...I received the goods at my front door 30 mins before I got the first email from the seller providing me with the link to be able to track it..:lol:
