Theo, I did not want to say before but I had guessed this might have been yours. The AWR was the clue, I know you have talked to me about this scope over the phone. If memory serves did this per chance come from Perth originally or was that another scope i am confusing with? The one from WA had a special observatory built around it.
Richard your one lucky man if this is the scope you got.
Indeed it is, Fahim. I know Theo was sad to see it go but rest assured it has gone to a good home!
And while I'm talking about Theo, I want to acknowledge the expertise and "after sales service" Theo has offered to me. Many phone calls with instructions like, "..ok now turn the Allen key clockwise. " have been much appreciated. Theo's depth of knowledge on, well, everything has been invaluable.
And another thing. It is through forums like IIS that information can be exchanged at a truly phenomenal rate. Let's not forget the great service Iceman and his cast of moderators, advisors and good eggs do for the large and diverse community of amateur astronomers in the continent and beyond.
Good memory mate, that is correct. This is my old (And missed) scope.
I did put the AWR on it to have goto and better tracking.
This is the telescope from Perth, with some minor upgrades and fixes.
I remember richard rolling up and his smile grow from one side to the other side of his face. I thought he was going to camp in the observatory until the scope was delivered to his home.
