[Rod-AR127 (Rod)]

Well damn it if l didn't go and get my telescope fixed and sorted just in time for the wettest, coldest, windiest, and cloudiest part of the year.
Topped it off by buying a 2" 30 mm ep just to make sure it stayed cloudy.
Having mixed thoughts about my AR127L, it is what is is and I'm going to enjoy it.
With some nice things popping up in the classifieds l will weigh my ota, focuser and sd and see if l can sneak an ED72 onto it piggy backed.
Then, and only then will l know if my 127 optics are average or crap, because they certainly aren't great.
I did pick out Uranus which l think was fairly good.
Cloudy for a few more days still.

Edit. Despite the obvious aperture difference l consider the ED72 as a forever keeper, traveller and possible EAA foray in future years with a go-to mount.
Tell me I'm crazy!
