Just heard that it has arrived , been thoroughly checked by the techs and will be at my place SOON !!!!
Guess I'd better get my didget out and rebuild that 10" newt OTA , got all the bits and pieces so just need to trim the tube, cut some holes , assemble and collimate , and I then have something worthwhile putting on top it.
Now just waiting on my 40D and lenses , and the Orion Autoguider , and some clear cloudless nights .
Nutcase next door REALLY flipped his lid last night , his behaviour was so bad

it sounded like someone was being murdered next door for most the evening , so bad that I called 000 to get the cops to attend (at 3am) , never got wink of sleep last night and he was taken away at 6:30am , bit of luck he'll be sectioned and wont be allowed back out for a very long time .
