Gawd... I figured some-one must have bought a scope as its overcast again

Could we all please refrain from buying scopes close to new moon ?!?

[AG Hybrid (Adrian)]

Nice! Definitely one of those "dream" type telescopes.
On a side note. I bet that cat wanted to sit inside the big tube but the corrector plate kept getting in the way.

Also, while were looking and chatting, lats play a game of snooker? Oh wait...

Nice bruiser there, Brian. Lucky you've got a nice big table to put all the empty boxes on!

The Meade in the background is looking rather dejected now, . Going to a new home?

Not bad for a grab 'n go, I suppose!

At one day per inch of aperture, the clouds will be around for a couple of weeks!

That's almost 3 times my body weight...

[strongmanmike (Michael)]

Wow, impressive! Does the 155 kg include the weight of the cat in the crate?

And the manual must have been written by Arny himself because its printed one person installation CGE pro mount can be more easily assembled by one person if the polar housing axis is installed separately, its still 38kg and you have to lift it nearly sholder high.
