The G11 is rearing to go, and doing everything it is suppose too, and the Tak106 is just waiting, waiting, waiting, yep, it wants to do something, but alas one bit that i ordered for it that fits it all together didn't arrive with the order i got yesterday.
I was told that it will be sent today first thing, so hopefully it might be here by the weekend.
So in the meantime i can just look at it, and i reckon if i can look at it, i might as well show all you good people.
Yes it dose look good, now all it has to do is perform as good as i looks.

You will not be disappointed with the optics of the FSQ. I used an FSQ-106 (not the N version) a long time ago. Disappointed I sold it. Hence placed an order for the new FSQ-106ED (should be here next month). Incredibly flat field, no need for additional field flatteners and with an 88mm image circle, vignetting is kept to a minimum. Revolutionary instrument indeed.
With the 5D it will deliver an image scale of 3.19 arcsec/pixel. Ideal for wide field work regardless of the seeing conditions. The only downside with such a wide field (154 x 232 arcmins) are gradients. Nothing flats and image processing can't remedy.
Thanks Jase for the info, and Steve it is solid alright, vibrations are basically non existent, unless it kick the crap out of it, and then i only damage my foot
Thanks ken, but i don't know about the stickers just yet,
anyway, i was going to ask you, how the hell is there room for you in that little observatory you built, looks great though.
