I've been tongue in cheek the whole time - I am not selling the Esprit - like it too much actually It's a great little scope, only needing a little tweaking to be excellent.

In fact, Kunama and I started figuring out last night how to add a carry handle to it whilst keeping the mounting foot.

That sounds most interesting Glen.
I presume it has not seen first light but your opinion upon this scope is eagerly awaited by me at least.

I am flip flopping all over.
I will return to Sydney tomorrow all going well with my paw. ( still a little swollen but not too painful fingers stiff)

I noticed a blue tooth for mount control at Bintel.
Anyone used blue tooth...if I could guide via blue tooth that would be great

When I get back I will at least set up eq6 I did something to the tripod so fixing that will be a start.
Send off details so I can receive guide camera, se d off DSLR for mod, look at lap tops and see if one can be used for guiding.

Clean garage dedicate spare bedroom for astronomy.
