I'm sure he wont mind me sharing this with you.

As we have to wait for our scopes to cool to ambient temp, he actually has to wait for his to warm up outside, after bringing it out from the air conditioning, about 22 degrees he reckons.

And for postal service, well, after it has gone by road, rail, plane, and probably donkey at least a couple of weeks, and that's not waiting for stock either.

Interesting thought!!...that would mean the mirrors could fog up outside and he'd have to wait until they clear before any viewing!!..unless you cover the scope with an insulator of some kind...tricky!!
