IT's in my sweaty hands.... it is a VERY nice scope - beautiful glass, MASSIVE focuser. VERY smooth R&P (looks adaptable too - a few screw holes etc).
The mold spore is GONE after a 5 minute UV bathing in SEQ's HARSH UV index today, so will leave it alone for now, and store it with silica gel packs. WIlliam included some very professionally made adapters too, so almost set for AP right from the get go (I do want a specific light cone with rotator made... that'll go to Ubique

)
EXTREMELLY happy. Now to star test it tonight... first up will be The Jewel Box just to get colour and collimation checked out.
