Bintel BT-402 16"
Righto all the BT-402 has landed in Broken Hill for $2750 + $170 delivery (since i didnt go and pick it up ) so now it is set up in the lounge room next to the 10" and wow doesnt the 10" look small ,it can sit there till first light on saturday night (cloud permitting) after the observing night i will write a review( only if anyones interested or else i,ll keep my mouth shut).
So a quick couple of points b4 it even goes outside.
The rocker box has to be remade already( lotsa movement) so i,m going to buy a sheet of 3/4 ply and remake the rocker and then i put the laser colimator down the throat of it turned it of and walked away ( the return beam didnt even make it back to the focuser as it was 1 1/2" away from the centre (but that will change on the night as it is no big deal yet).
So on sunday if you want the whole review even colimation report just say.....................cheers Kev.
