Red white and blue huh - very patriotic! Shame you cannot get green and gold.

Thanks for those comments.
I ordered direct from Moonlight and its slightly cheaper than buying from Steve - about $US519 delivered to Aus in about 5 days. Can't wait.
You can get it in Meade blue, or green or gold. All the anodising looks very very nice.
Didn't get the motorised version although I was tempted to do so. Just trying to cut down on the use/dependance on a laptop.
Steve has the focuser available but at about $AU40-50 more. If you want it imediately then talk to Steve Massey.
For what its worth I've processed the M83 shot in photoshop to bring out the details and I'm very happy with it as there is so much detail in it. I've included a close crop of it from the full frame original so that you can see what this scope is capable of when focused carefully. Sorry about the jpeg artifacts again. If you take the image down close to the original size then you can see the increase in detail with out all the arifacts
