Scott, I am so pleased it arrived in good order. It was the first time I had shipped anything so large and ran into all sorts of logistical problems in doing so, most revolving around sneaking it out of the house so my wife didn't work out what I had done (LOL). She knew I was shipping one in order to get another but didn't realise I was shipping two equally large scopes and 2 camera's etc etc. All to pay for the Credit card bill she definitiely didn't know about. They are just big pieces of gear to her and she doesn't quite equate them with the price of an average 2nd hand car. My new Celestron CGE 1400 arrives on Tuesday so I only have a few more days to wait. It should be here in time for a big observing session on Tuesday night we have arranged over here for the Comet although I don't think my fellow members have realised that my purchase guarantees bad weather.
On the subject of focusers I wouldn't hesitate to swap for the Moonlite, I have used one and they are great.
On the subject of collimation, first one will be a cow and should be tackled in daylight rather than dark but easy after that.
On the subject of the Argo, yup, read the manual first.
Have a ball, that scope has delivered me some of the finest sights I have ever seen.
