Guys, finally .........I am now officially a 10" LB owner!!
Got it from Bintel in Sydney. Mike Smith was an abs delight to deal with - he answered all my persistent (& sometime silly maybe) questions very patiently ... thanks Mike.
As suggested by some of the learned members of this forun, I upgraded the Crayford focuser to 1:10 & also got a Telrad & a Orion Collimator eyepiece. Yet to open the boxes, hope to put it all together soon.
I have borrowed a few books on astronomy ... any ideas/suggestions on what objects should be the first on my list for observing?
Cheers,
Uday.
