New Toy

After procrastinating for so long I have jumped from my old tasco 4" newt that I have played with for 15 years to a real scope :-) Now to make some good use of it ....

Big jump.
Looks an excellent set up.
You can use the four inch as a finder scope for that one.☺
Congratulations ...you know it will be cloudy now for months.

Congrats on your beautiful new scope just in time for planetary season

That's quite a jump from a 4"...

Good luck on a full moon weekend!

Don't look at the moon through it without a moon filter. A scope that size is a new level of 'enlightenment.' Your retinas won't speak to you for quite a while afterwards....

Nice scope. That is going to bring a long of faint fuzzies into very clear view.
