Thanks John!
The Megrez I picked up near new for next to nothing, some yuppie in Sydney had it as a conversation piece in his apartment mainly for work parties and absolutely no idea how to use it.. The only problem is his meat head guests (I'm guessing this) all had p!ssing competitions to see who could tighten the mount head the most with the lock arm and it was damaged. It's still a nice little grab and go scope for visuals. The guy had no idea when I sent some simple images of the moon taken through it.
My 152, I long ago changed the standard clunky Skywatcher focuser for a nice Williams Optics DDG Synta unit. I've seen good and bad reviews of the same focuser but it's sturdy and well made, I love it. I also have adaptors on other Achromat reftractors I can slip the focuser onto.
