Due to circumstances on the homefront, I had to stop my dob project. It was a tough decision as I have invested so much time and money into the project. Now, thanks to a generous family member, they have provided me with enough funds in the 2008 budget for a new "off-the-shelf" scope to satisfy my yearning for the sky. A brief 2-day research on the internet, some phone calls and a spark of enthusiasm, I placed an order with Bintel for a LX200 ACF 10". This is a birthday present. I think there will be many questions here on IIS in the foreseeable future. I look forward to many enjoyable hours with the new scope.
Ohhh, so many extras and add-ons.
I could go stupid in the accessory department, but the good folk at Bintel, Melbourne, will keep me in line (I hope)
