New Scope - PW - Woohoo!
Last week I took delivery of my new scope. A Planewave CDK12.5.
I'd love to boast about its collimation, neat focussing set up, cool down times, resolution etc etc. Sadly, the clouds have been persistent since I mounted the scope last Saturday.
For those who don't know - its a LOT of scope. I have the STL11000 mounted on the back. Anything that makes that camera look puny is a big beast.
It will be interesting to see how the PMX copes with the weight. Slewing around on Saturday it seemed to cope well but only time and some imaging will really show how it manages.
I am one happy camper. Now all I need is some clear sky.
