I had been umming and ahhing about getting myself something bigger than my C9.25 for a while and thanks to a bit of savings and an overtaxed payout from last year I started looking at the Orion XX14g GoTo Truss Telescope. After reading the review posted by Rick about his Orion XX14i Intelliscope I was happy enough to go ahead and order the beast.
Well it arrived today and after two car trips to the astro shop to get it home I unboxed it and assembled it. It looks sweet as and I can't wait for this rain and cloud (sorry about the weather in Sydney, I know I'm to blame this time) to go away so I can test it out in the courtyard.
Meanwhile, you can take a look at the unboxing and assembling on my website:
