Congrats Shah, nothing beats a BIG scope, I have never been happier with my homebrew 16".
Is it possible to get the scope locally, someone like Peter Read at SDM? While I am the first to buy offshore, maybe at least see what can be made locally, and the relative costs.
The dew heater(s) can be sourced locally. I bought a secondary dew heater from Peter just last month. With "normal" dew heaters I use the DewNot ones from Scopestuff in the US, and this is my suggestion.
A Paracorr can be found either at Bintel, or sometimes used on the Buy Sell forums.
