Thanks Everyone for your kind Welcoming.

Brendan; Your not so far away, would be good to catch up some time. At the moment im running in alt az mode, however im planing to mount the scope permanently on a homemade wedge and pier.

Poita; yes 3000mm FL will be difficult. I have a meade 3.3 reducer which would bring it down to a nice FL, but that reducer on this scope with the stl11000 chip would give severe vignetting i would think, havent tried it yet though. Maybe a different reducer would be the order.

Any thoughts on the optical quality of the meade 3.3 reducer, i tried it once and it seamed to display chromatic aberations around the fringes?

Look forward to talking with you all.
