Hi Barry,
Glad to see you got your collimation mod done.
Peter was over delivering my scope (SDM #56) and unfortunately the weather in Perth Friday and Saturday didn't allow us to give it first light. Peter did meet up with a few of our Astro club (AGWA) members and we ran the scope through it's paces and a very enjoyable night was had with everyone very impressed with Peter's work.
Peter's patience with my endless questions and worries was fantastic and the whole process was great with nothing being too much trouble.
I Did get the scope out finally on Tuesday even it was only in the front yard. Great views - Omega Centauri filled 13mm ethos sharp edge to edge, the front yard has a street light about 10m from where I set up. Even with this I viewed Sombero, Eskimo neb, eight burst, omega centauri, spindle galaxy, orion, 47 tuc, blue planetary.
I'm sure if you decide to get an SDM you won't be disappointed.
Cheers
Garin
