My new scope finally arrived on Friday.
It is truly a work of art, I could not be happier. I am very grateful to Peter Read for the great care he took in building her for me. It was great to have Peter deliver the scope to my door from Shepparton Victoria, and for him to give me a demonstration on how to set it up, collimate, etc. He truly is a great bloke.
Now if the weather would just co-operate, so I can see how the OMI mirror performs!
Anyway, here are some photos of the new beast. I will post a few times with a range of photos so you can get a sense of how gorgeous (and huge) she is. Now, I just need to think of a name.....
