Finally managed to get a few extra bits and pieces for my second hand 8SE: 8x50 finder to replace the laser pointer; Bintel 10:1 focuser (thanks Chris); WO Dura Bright diagonal; Ultima LX 17mm; Vixen LVs 9, 12 and 25mm.
And as Murphy would have it, it's been rain, lightening and wind for the last 48 hours in Melbourne, and will continue to be like this until early next week. Just waiting now...
The whole setup is placing the single arm fork under seriously strain, and I gotta watch that bottom clearance like you know what.
Looks like I may be upgrading to a NEQ6 sooner than I thought...
In the meantime, here are some photos of the new kit.
Cheers,
Bo
