I will put my hand up and say I have completed stage one and it looks damn good so far, this does not look cheap at all, if it all works at the end then I think we will be the winners. Sits in a nice spot in my observatory. The mag has plenty of good up to date information so for little more than what I expect the US Sky and Tel to be selling at per month with the dollar the way it is, we have will something to show in 12 months.

Good luck, will post some pics soon.
