Morning guys,

I've just come into the office and what a great surprise. Many thanks for the quick replies to my questions. Its really good to get your comments. I only joined up yesterday and you make me feel like part of a 'family' already! Magic.

There were so many interesting and helpful comments there.

I've been using the 'Mk1 eyeball' and cheap binos for a while, but the cheap binos, just don't do it, do they, so reading your comments I figure it's going to be good with either scope on that score.

On the list now:
A Collimation tool - 'Cheshire' eyepiece and/or a laser!
Crayford type focuser.
Barlow lens.
Its beginning to get like fishing tackle already!!

Still 'the fifty million dollar question' ..... which brand to go for?

The GSO seems to be ahead a little at the moment and I'm led to believe there's some new models on their way to Aussie. I need to check on that. I've always been a little wary of 'new ones' though??

Would anyone have a link or three to any reviews on either I wonder?

Any more comments would be really welcome so please don't hesitate to post them.

Many thanks again guys.....and yes, clear skys (& good fishing!)
