Thanks John, I've been patiently waiting to hear how you get on. Glad you enjoyed your first experience.
You stated that the and the collimation was only out a fraction to what it had been at home. did you disassemble then re assemble on site or did you transport the scope made up. I'm concerned that everything needs setting up each time its re assembled.
I have to sell some scuba gear before I raise the necessary funds to purchase my next "real" te;escope so will be some time yet for me. So far, things are looking good for an LB!
