thats a nice scope ya got there
i've had mine for about 2 months now and only just set it up tonight for first light! (visual) weather here has been terrible.
i dont even want to look at all the bits i'll eventually 'need' just yet.
from what i've read the 102 should give pretty decent results without the flattener unless your using a big chip, but i guess the best way to find out is to get out there and give it a go.
