Hi Rod,
Thanks for your quick reply to last nights note.Im home today with a sore back,not the result of the 30,fortunately,although she can be a jealous lady sometimes.I normally observe at Ron Knights place at Cambroon QLD and Leyburn on the darling downs.Leyburn is twice the distance as Rons place and the company there is just as friendly.I love sharing the images from the 30 with anyone who's interested.I've known Ron Knight for 10 years now and have always been impressed with his extensive knowledge of astronomy.I have spent many weekends with him in the past picking his brain and if it clouds out like it did on saturday just gone,enjoy the odd drop of astro port or two and talking astro turky with him.
The only other thing i would say about Peters scopes is that due to the imaculate finish,one may become very conscious of scratching the beautiful finish.I know i have and to date my 30 (VOYAGER),very origional,is still in perfect condition.When shes in storage i had a kingsize quilt altered to fit it snuggly so to reduce dust and acts i suppose like a padded parjama top.This also reduces any heat which comes through the trailor top or sides when in storage.As a joke with Peter, i had matching mittins made up for the polished wood wheel barrow handles.Im sure you'le love looking at it as much as looking through it.
Sorry if my reponses are a bit long.
Regards Peter.
