It's here and I'm happy.

G,day cobbers,

I just recieved my new Dob on thursday (Bintel BT-302) and I must say It's a winner I have only had a quick view so far and from what I've seen the Dob is a b****y beauty. The optics are definatley first rate and the views I am getting thru all eyepieces are spectacular.

Eh? Another new scope? Didn't you just buy that 120mm refractor or am I behind the times?

In any case, good stuff mate! Congrats!!
