Hi guys,
everything arrived today so ive just had some fun putting it all together, then i get ready to plug it in and make sure the mount works as it should but one of the cables that connects to the battery was missing so there will be no springing into life for it today unfortunately.

on another note, the meade 6" f/5 ota is very nice indeed from first inspections.
The only real let down is the R&P focuser, but even that is of decent quality when compared to a skywatcher type.
i actually bought a couple more shower caps to use as dust covers when i store it but the dust cap on this ota is the best ive seen, very snug fit and its actually metal. overall very solid construction and still pretty light.
i'm still more interested in what its like to look through rather than at.

now to wait for some clear skies
