As it turned out, the "number doesn't match" notation was right - the 2 boxes became separated and in the process of sorting it out, someone accessed the paperwork stuffed inside that little adhesive envelope thing on the boxes - presumably to look at the packing list or some-such. And in that process also removed the paperwork from Bisque with the various serial numbers on it. The result was I had to ask Daniel Bisque to go into their computer and find out what there are and to register them for me on their internal system so I could access them. It was a real PITA.

I can imagine your frustration. At least you got the big bit first. Gave you something to polish while waiting for the other one. I also ordered the MX Carry Case so I have 3 parcels coming. I also got 3 tracking numbers which may be useful?
Got my shipping notification today, should be in the country on Thursday. Possibly Friday pickup!
Cheers

Good on you Stuart. I fired mine up last night, TheSkyX scope control is very, very good. And watching this baby slew is just pure poetry. Of course the sky remains a thick, wet soup up here and I have to OS for work on Monday for 10 days. So I have no doubt that you will get some first-light images up well before me.

I got mine today, well, 2 of the 3 boxes! As has already been said, it is a work of art. Earlier, I had made a plate for my pier for the MX to bolt to and today, found the holes are out by 0.5mm. The mount's precision is such that the mounting bolts will not screw in (to two of the holes!). I could easily make them fit by slightly opening the holes in the mount but I will remake the plate instead.
For those still waiting, it is definately worth it.
I'm a bit angry!!!! I paid for my mount in full back in March direct to SB.....now it seems that many of you that possibly ordered from dealers are getting the MX while I sit around and cannot get a word from SB. I'm happy for you guys, but not at all happy with SB.
It probably depends more on when you ordered. I ordered mine in February.
The advantage of ordering through OPT was that they didn't want a deposit or payment straight away as well as a slight discount.
I have to take one of the kids to Hockey, and the skies are clear tonight, but I don't think I'll be setting up as the serial numbers for the software didn't arrive (anyone want to share theirs?).

Hi Peter,
I don't doubt that yours will be along in the not too distant future. SB got behind alot so all the initial shipments were delayed. I got mine 2 days ago having ordered directly from SB in August 2010 but it was worth the wait. Hang in there!
