Sorry guys , it's going to rain soon .

My Celestron 80mm ED is in Oz and on it's way and I should get it by Thursday or Friday .

So expect rain for those in SE Qld . Sorry :whistle

I will be able to complete my reviews on the eyepieces and do one on the Celestron scope when it stops raining

Looks great Mark, can't wait to read your first light report!

What mount is it going on? Your EQ6?

Hey Mark
That is an awsome looking scope

Cant wait to see it first hand.

And please no rain maybe you can send the rain back for a refund

Yes I will be using the EQ6 .
It's a bit of over kill , but as the mount won't have much to do when the new newtonian mount is finished I might as well put it to good use .
I will most probable mount my digital camera and the guide scope on it as well so it won't look to small on the EQ6

Actually it is going to be grab and go scope and I will be piggy backing it on the newt and it's new mount .
The Eq6 is not that heavy as a grab and go when you take all the counter weghts off it .
