Well here it is, the Meade 8" f/6 Lightbridge Deluxe.
My daughter was mesmorised, her face said it all when she saw it.
Don and Mick at Bintel had collimated it for me and checked everything before I picked it up. Then they packed it all back up again ready to go. Thanks heaps guys.
Assembly at home was so easy, everything just came together perfectly.
It looks fantastic and it's very portable, just the right size for my daughter.
The deluxe model comes with a 4 way Red Dot finder ( which projects your choice of either a dot, a crosshair, a circular crosshair, or a circle) and a Meade 26mm QX wide angle 70 deg AFOV- 2" eyepiece. It's a wopper of an EP. (See attached photos).
We can't wait for some clear weather to give it a whirl.
