New Scope

Well took the plunge today and ordered a Solar Max 60 scope with BF10.
Hope to get in some observing with it and then take to Hawaii for the Transit Tour in June.
Cannot wait!

Getting from Bintel, I think they are about $1900 or thereabouts. Haven' got it yet but as with all my past dealings I am confident Bintelshop customer service will be first rate!

Malcolm,

congrats on the new scope

We'll have a good assortment of Solar Scopes at Snake Valley in a few weeks.

Looking forward to it

Paul
