Yes indeed, money well spent. In essence I've saved for a lifetime to be able to own a scope like this. It's my "retirement scope"! Short of miraculously coming into screeds of money (and putting a >24" scope on a mountain top somewhere next to a mountain top mansion), there are no new scopes in my future. This is it, finito!! It has to satisfy my craving to produce the highest standard of images until, well, I drop dead!

Indeed money well spent Marcus on the basis of your 253 image.
Good to see your passion translate into what is a very fine scope.
