As some of you know, I recently sold my 8"newt. It wasn't being used, it was too long for me to handle safely.
So I thought this scope would make a good replacement.
How's this, I even got to have first light on the first night!!!!
It was only for 20 minutes between clouds and showers. I had it up on the iOptron Mini Tower set up under cover on the front verandah. But I had a look at Mars and a few stars. It's a right pain looking through it visually though with no diagonal.
So today I'm going to put the camera on it and take a few photos of the abattoir up on the hill. Start to get a feel for the scope, work out it's idiosyncrasies.
So far I've found her to be a lovely scope, every thing I thought she would be.
