Well, I don't know what all the fuss is about?
I have just spray painted my collapsable captain's spyglass in aluminium paint and use it while wrapped in two sports ice packs for cooling and the results are outstanding!
Even water cooled my Telrad!
Seriously though Trevor, that is one hell of a scope!
..............more like something from NASA.
Congratulations!....... and I hope you don't loose too much sleep waiting for Mark's super mirror.

Rob.
