Jealous??! Nothing to be jealous about mate! Nothing at all ... untill I get it working!! Funny, Gail and I both mentioned your name in unison as we stood in the stifling heat after a very long drive watching a few bobs worth of scope sit there smugly challenging us to lift it out of the car without dropping it. I'm glad Gail is stronger than she looks!!

Apologies in advance to those thinking first light is near, forget it!! Bench testing, mount wiring, mounting, collimation, TPoint modelling and some head scratching will likely take many weeks.

I do plan to make this thread a bit of an ongoing review of everything about this scope and its commissioning ... warts and all. I'll include lots of pics too.

Very much appreciate your interest & good wishes guys!

Cheers, Marcus
