Nice to see Guinevere on "stage", and after having used her now (my, that sounds somewhat crude...  ), as well as my VERY impressed wife using it (she hung around Matt, ignoring Phil and I with the piddly refractors  ), I can well understand the smiles on their faces on screen. A truly magnificent scope that not only looks beautiful, but performs astoundingly well. I was a little miffed not to see Matt's name mentioned in the acknowledgements or thanks  |
The program was obviously targeted to the wider (non-enthusiast) audience and as such a good show. I did very much enjoy chatting with both Brian Cox and Naomi McClure-Griffiths and they did sign my other scope.....
I also spent some time with cosmologist Dr Brad Tucker, at Mt Stromlo showing him and his son some sights through the TOA130.
