Hi Lester,
Nice image considering the seeing. You should get a better go at it now that the crook weather seems to be dissipating.

Lester, is that the model 140 2x?

I have had the model 140 for about 15 yrs and am also most pleased with it's performance although all of my current work is with a Bintel 3x, think I might have to save up for a 4x Powermate.

Keep up the good work, look forward to seeing more.
PS: Do you have the DMK yet?

Regards
Trevor
