Hi Petra,
Good to hear you and David are back home safe. It is quite a haul.
Mai and I had dinner with Peter and Mark at a restaurant at Berowra on Thursday night.
I told them that whilst we were at Coona that I meant to tell you that
if I could have been given a choice of taking a telescope home with me, I would
have taken yours.
It is a beautiful scope to look at and to look through and one of the
best pointing telescopes I have encountered. It would be interesting to characterize
its raw pointing performance sometime using TPAS. Undoubtedly this performance
comes from the care and attention that went into constructing it.
Best Regards
Gary
