New addition to the family.

Picked up today from Fedex (couldn't wait for their local delivery) is the new addition to my astro gear.

My first ever Apo! Williams Optics FLT110 Flourite Triplet Apo.

Originally I was going to get the Tak 106ED, but at around 7k (with accessories) I could not justify it, so I have settled on the FLT110 instead, which came with a field flattener for little over a third of the cost of the Tak.

Sadly, I will have to wait until next year for a new mount (the EQ6 GT). Until then I will use an alt/az mount that I have spare.

Cheers Peter
