New Scope!

Well I have taken a plunge and purchased as 20" truss dob. After a bit of "will I won't I", I decided what the heck. Pics are attached.
Hoping for first light tonight. It is an older design and some things will need fixing up. Not sure I like the secondary assembly, the plastic on the UTA needs fixing, but the optics look fine, apart from some minor water marks on the primary.
Anyways I have very roughly collimated and will give it a burst tonight and see how we go!
