Oh look! More good news....

I SINCERELY hope its not going to be one of those years!

Just found out the T-Rex mount I had ordered from kkohki.com could not be delivered this week as back-log of pre-orders had become too great (I thought I HAD pre-ordered).

Just as well the TSA120's a bit duff and has to go back.

Maybe our one of our chickens will nest in the Newt and save me the trouble of making a Dob mount.

I'll leave the eyepieces out in case the Possum wants to play with them.

My sympathies Peter, does look like the gods are against you.

Brave of you to go with a first run product!
Barry at KK seems to know his stuff.
Did he give you any hands-on advice as to how the T-Rex performs?


Had to laugh at this quote form the T-Rex page:

"...when the mad desire surfaces to take your large aperture telescope out on a fun and carefree midnight cruise, look to the T-REX..."

Obviously worth waiting for.

No advice, but I have been trying to get him to make changes to the web-page. I've been trying to get him to post pics of the mounts actually being made. He says the workshop is too 3rd-world looking and would frighten people! "Dark satanic mills" etc. etc.

I'm also trying to get him to expand the colour choices from Black or White to/or/and Bentley Green & Shiraz Purple.
I am SO bored of black and white mounts...
I don't imagine it costs much or any more to anodize a different colour!
