Hi all, purchased this scope off John yesterday,couldn't wait to get home and set it up.What a beautiful thing this thing is.I couldn't stop looking at it,had to be dragged away by the wife when dinner was ready.Its a monster of a scope,the build is so professional,unlike the plastic scopes that are around today.Naturally,the skies were overcast,so didn't get a chance to do any viewing.I was telling John I saw these scopes in the 60's and early 70's and could only drool over them,there was no way I could afford one then.I know John was sad to see it go,but I can assure him its found a great home.I'm going to give it a go just using the alt mount to see how it handles viewing the planets,moon ,etc.I will then see how it performs on one of my Meade goto mounts,like I said can't wait,hopefully clear skies this weekend.Cheers.
