Lots of little fuzzies floating in the background.

I would Guess you're enjoying the new mounthttp://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/..../winking70.gif.. mmm, of course!

Man, love the look of the new scope you're going to get... wow, what a piece of precision art! And really, a very good price.

Thanks a lot Rich! I think we're so used to seeing magnificent images from huge aperture scopes under dark skies we forget that the humble suburban 6" is very capable, albeit with longer exposures.

I think the DSI might give an RCOS a run for it's money ... at less than half the price (!) even with the fused quartz mirror and a Pyxis rotator! Not ready to outlay the $$ yet, but it's at the top of my list!
