When's yours coming to fruition Moh? Surely it can't be far away now... ?? It seems like forever ago that you placed an order.

I was just up there a couple of weeks ago and saw that scope in person. She's a beaut and Peter demonstrated the remote collimation. An ingenius little device and really does simplify the collimation process. Aligning the primary is no longer a back-n-forth dance between the UTA and mirror box!

Hi Chris Peter has given me an ETA of September, so hopefully by then :) It has been a bit of wait but should hopefully be worth it :D
