The Flagship has finally arrived

Just came in today after a 1 year wait. One of only 30 made (#30).

A TEC 180mm Fluorite oiled triplet APO F7 1260mm focal length with a feather touch focuser and a matching field flattener.

This will be my flagship telescope.

Here are some photos of it:

I believe it is the only one in Australia and probably only one of a few in the whole southern hemisphere.

Greg.
