Just ordered the 2" Astro-physics visual back from the seller on IceinSpace.

RE Tripod - i didnt even realise the tripod could be extended. I've been leaving it at the default (folded) setting - hence me getting a RACI because I'm 6'1 and was finding it awkward to line up to an object higher up on the horizon.

My backyard has a lot of trees so generally i'm around 38degrees off horizontal if that makes sense...

those Televues are tempting - but the price is another consideration. However as I noted I have a budget of $1500 so i'd be looking at 3 pieces - a 34/27mm, a 17/13mm and one around 8-9mm??

I could probably acquire whatever i dont buy this time, over the next 3-6 months once I'm a bit more experienced in what I want to see and using the scope.

anyone got any feedback re the dewshield and heater straps for Perth climate?

cheers
Jeelan
