Hi,

Very exciting day today, picked up my Skywatcher 180 Mak. Of course, it's now cloudy in Melbourne...

I've got it on my Vixen Super Polaris, which I think will just handle it for visual. It balances well, but with both counterweights at the end of the shaft.

I've got the stock 28mm 2" skywatcher, and also bought a Saxon SWA (68 degree) 13mm, and borrowed a 10mm plossl to play around with.

Thanks to everyone who offered advice in the beginners equipment forum. I'm really happy with what I've ended up with.

Cheers

Stephen
