OOOHHHH, a baby with TEETH!

Good one mate.

Great purchase you wont regret Doug....but why the FSQED, why not the FSQEDX or the FSQEDXII? I was contemplating selling mine for the upgrade, but I'll do a retrofit instead. The "captain's wheel" instrument rotator is crap IMO. It works, but if your "hardcore" in getting the framing correct, its a dud to use. Anyway, I'm sure you'll love it...and perhaps don't listen to anything I've said until you get a few hours alone with it under dark skies.

Lovely scope Doug, should bring some excellent images.
They do great wide field imaging.

I have the 4" camera rotator retrofit coming for this scope. I didn't think about it when I made the original order. And I agree the captains wheel is junky at best. I end up moving the mount trying to move the wheel.

I must change my signature list but I have only got VC200L, WO 70mm APO, FSQ and old ED80 which I will offer very cheap to our Astro club members first. I have sold the rest.
