just got my new scope- needed aperture

Have a look, I just took deivery of my new scope.

Think i might need to upgrade from the G11 mount?
Perhaps not if I balance it just right?

Wouldn't that be nice. No-one would ever scoff at your set up then.
It would fit perfect in my front paddock.

Yeah - and my advice is not to accidently forget to turn the illuminator off when it's not needed - like I'm constantly doing...
