Many thanks
Thanks, guys. Yes, thank goodness no hitches (I was worried about collimation, etc. after courier had to travel out twice). Went out again at 4, going 4.30, cooled enough by 5 (as was I).
Mars was just stupendous. Stared goggle-eyed until just before dawn. Switched to Venus and, for fun, carried on. The crescent still showing dead-centre (albeit thin and, now, thermally fuzzed) as of ten minutes before this message. Full review to follow (hopefully with a better range of eyepieces...).
