Hi John, cheers, yeah it's a special place for sure, I feel very lucky.
The carbon fibre tube is an Orion Optics UK 12 inch F3.8 corrected Newtonian with a four element 3" Wynne coma corrector and yes, still have the AP152mm F7.5 EDF Starfire with 4" focuser and 4" field flattener, a remarkabubble scope
