G'day Oddy! How's the LX200? I am missing her greatly....when I sold her to you in September last year I had expected my new scope my mid-November. At that stage 2 months without a scope seemed like an infinity. It has now been more like 5 months, and I am having to do lots of deep breathing exercises.....
Anyway, the big holdup has been the mirror.....I think OMI have had an explosion of work, which is great for them, but frustrating for those of us on the other side of the world who just have to wait and wait and wait.....
Bottom line is that the mirror is at the coater at the moment, and it will then be shipped to Australia with 4 other mirrors that Peter Read has ordered. Peter has been kind enough to offer to collect the mirrors from Melbourne airport, and then expedite completion and delivery. The timing totally depends now on the coaters, but we are all pretty confident I will have my scope no later than new moon in March.....Yeehaa!
