Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I really feel fortunate indeed. Some time back I purchased some other stuff from Mark, so it probably helped that he remembered me.
You know, I would have kicked myself from here to eternity (or to the moon anyway!) if I hadn't have gone for it when Marks scope came up for sale. Funny, I have always built my own, but this time, someone else has done the job, and very well too!!!!!!
I've always said, you don't really own anything, just caretakers of things, so I plan to share this with other interested parties.
Now battling cloudy nights (of course), and a sore back (for a few days anyway).
Will try to do a first light report, or is that second light...first light for me anyway!
Looks like there might be another great scope (tnott) coming up for sale soon, so another chance for some lucky person.
Thanks again, and clear skies,
Nick
