My Scope is on its way!

My Scope is on its way!

It’s been so long since my 60mm Tasco broke to pieces & I’ve been without a scope. I began to dream and post away on a whim here and there & although I never really had the funds I did enjoy learning more, but yearned all the more; So I have finally got around to ordering a scope to go with my Bino’s.

I’ve opted for one of the newer version… GSO 12” DOBs (ASDX)

It comes with right-angle correct image 8 x 50 finderscope
2" Crayford style microfocuser with 10:1 fine focusing
2" to 1.25" adaptor
fan,
GSO 6mm, 9mm, 15mm and 25mm 1.25" Plossl eyepieces - and a bonus SP32mm 2" eyepiece.

I could not help it, & also ordered:
4mm SP eye piece to go with the others
Plus a 2” 40mm EP as well as:
Super View (68degree) 20mm (5-el), 1.25"
For good measure Barlow “ED 2X magnification,2" (with 1.25" adaptor), FMC, 2 el., achromatic”
AND 2XPolarization Filters & lastly:
Guan Sheng deluxe Newtonian laser collimator.
Oh Yea....I also got a 4 recticle/adjustable brightness/red dot finder!

All I need now is to get some cheap camping gear and I am set to get right into it. Luckily next week I will have a few days off!!! I can’t wait. This is going to be an awesome upgrade and I know it’s just going to be so much more fun than it already was with my previous tasco & the one EP I had.

That’s it…until first light! J
