Hello John,
I have no piccies for you but I can say that I am commencing a similar adventure. I uhmed and ahhed at Andrews Comm's $999 Promak180 (7.1") and then She sanctioned the idea, so I got it. I had my first look last night. Viewing was a tease. It looked good naked eye, but was pretty poor through any of my scopes. I can report that it there was more detail of Jupiter than through my Megrez 110. And I was very impressed when Omega Centuri virtually filled the FOV with twinkles. Though it may take as long for me to get a good clear view as it does you. I can't believe how much water Newcastle attracts.
Mike.
