P1 - Just out of the shower.
P2 - All dressed up and ready for the Laaai-deees
P3 - Baby, you know I GOT it!
P4 - Wassa matter toots? Chicken?

Had about 4 hours with it and it has not failed to impress.
Much smaller & lighter than expected. A niggle or two (not related to optics!)
More later!

Hi Adam,

We had some of that blue stuff here a few days ago. Then as the night came you could see "holes in the sky"???

Some nice gear there Peter.

Cheers Marty

Hi Peter,

So that's what's brought the rain!!!

All I did was just look at the pics of your scope.

Cheers Marty

I see a spot on the lens - you don't actually expose that to the elements do you?

It was touch & go!
Thanks for the words everyone. I've been scrimping for this for a while. Every time I got close to having the dosh, something would cpme-up that cost $5000 to fix!
It was a toss-up between this , A 210 Mewlon, and a TEC 140.
It won for 'ease of use" really.

"Blue Stuff", is available from this provider, along with complimentary "Baking-hot firey orb of heat that turns everything to dust which blows around at night and causes air to shimmer". Reasonable price.

Hopefully I can do it justice and I'd like to do a concered survey of the "Clouds" with it,

Thanks again. A full report in the next couple of days,
