Thanks Marcus. Yeah, I thought that after all the work I've poured into this thing that it deserved to be named!

Expecting some sublime images from SLATO now though!!!!!!

Cheers, Marcus
Well, for this scope (not counting the observatory and my prototype 8") it has probably been over three years if you count the initial thinking / design phase. There were also periods of waiting time for components / tube manufacture / etc.

Not so sure about the sublime images ... I may have forgotten most of the image processing that I started learning before!

Yeah ... but after all the time and effort I think that relief may be a more apt description!!
