I should add I love the 100mm ED - the views I had of Saturn last night were very impressive. Wasn't too good going deep sky (and it wouldn't be from Oakleigh). Jupiter was about 15 degrees up when I was about to pack up, so I snuck a peek. Through the murk there were two bands clearly defined, with some glimpses of detail in those bands. Very excited by what Jupiter is going to show in the next few months.
Oh, and the RA drive is bliss (combined with my drummer's stool!).
