Hi H0ughy

I did indeed. I am basically a piccie person and even running the LX at f/3 it was still basically an f/10 fov. That was fine with modified webcams but when I get an ART up and running (please God make it soon) that will stay around long enough for me to play, I want W_I_D_E field! Hence the f/5 scopes.

Actually just delivered the 12" this morning. I love doing that to people... like "Have you seen one of these before?" I ask politely. "Um, no - only on the 'net..." they reply. Smug grin, open boot and wait.

"HOLY F****** SH**!! It's a mini Hubble!!" Bigger smug grin

In my boyhood in the 50s I spent quite a few holidays at Hopton-On-Sea, apparently if I went there today I wouldn't notice any difference.
Yup - Hopton's about 20 miles away. Luckily, most of the villages down the East coast hardly ever change. Means less LP for me here as my garden faces East and currently it's not polluted at all.
