Finally got some QT in with new scope!

At long last I got a clear couple of hours with no fog and hooked a batt pack up to the mount and scope. Wow! It was awesome to finally see M83 through a scope of my own even in terribly light polluted skies. 47 Tuc, M5, Eta Carina, Lagoon Neb, doubles, Saturn, so much more than I normally see. I found the goto system quiet accurate considering I rushed into it with a 1-star alignment. Can't wait to get it out in some dark skies.

Sorry for the rant, just had to share the joy as I'm a bit overloaded with it at the moment!

Good to hear Ryan, it really is amazing isn't it! Be prepared to spend many more hours scouring the skies!

Cheers
