Many thanks Paul. We had a great few hours and you've got a beautiful SDM scope that will delight for years. Saturn was so bright (big mirror) and we could trace the Encke division around the entire visible ring disc!
I got a great dose of the sky I cannot see from the northern hemisphere. That, and Paul's enthusiasm, will keep me going for the next year until we hopefully visit again.
Note to self: next dob must have ServoCAT tracking!
ps. Six week old grandson is doing just fine!
