oh, nice! I hope you can get it happening in time for tomorrow night
I've got a skywatcher 8" F5 newt and HEQ5 mount coming, along with a baader hyperion zoom eyepiece, T-ring for my camera and a bunch of other nic-nacs.
I've never had any kind of telescope before, so the set up (polar aligning the mount in particular) may take me a while to get the hang of. Still, I reckon if it comes to it, I'll hug the newt like a bag pipe and point it at something just to say I've used it
