Thanks Brendan. I used a lot of great advice from you and others in this forum, in making my choice. You're right, it is the scope I'll use. I'm looking forward to the incredibly clear skies at Harrietville at the foot of Mt. Hotham where, this morning, it is -3°C.

My viewing from home is actually quite restricted by trees and buildings, my clearest path runs north south with a FOV of about 50° to the east and west. So I reckon I'll get the most use for the scope on my travels.

Next need is for a couple of eyepieces. I have only a 25X at the moment. Since I wear glasses, I'll be looking for a good eye-relief. Any recommendations please - without breaking the poor old bank balance!
