Handy when imaging out in the field when you travel you need to get that image before clouds or heavy wind starts up.

I picked up a Paramount ME recently but that is for a new observatory yet to be built once I move in Nov. The NJP stays at the dark site though.

Yes I'm well aware of the attraction of a fast corrected telescope!!!!! ASA? ....where?

You got a PME huh? and a new observatory is coming...of course you need two observatories, of course .. way to go, I can only imagine what Mr Telescopes will get to put on that PME
