Smile Tell me I"m Crazy

G'day all,
Well today is the Day. I l decided to bite the bullet and get rid of some of my hard earned.I bought and paid for a Saxon F15012EQ3 Telescope (Newt) + double axis drive motor and control.
After reading many reviews and also replies on this forum (which is a good one) I seem to think that I might not have got the Rolls Royce of telescopes but it is about all that I can afford at the moment ,so I went for it. A Dob wouldn't fit in my boot but this one will ,even though it is a full lenth tube.
So now it looks like you are all stuck with me and I hope that I can get some guidance here.
By the way my new scope has upgraded eye piecses (Plossl).
It will be delivered early next week and the motor drive will be approx 2weeks later.
If any one has any comments I would like to hear them.
I went for the double drive just because I want to try out a bit of CNC gear that I have got and didn't want any restrictions.
Regards Derek
