Well done Jen!
That model was one of my options until impatience overtook me and I grabbed the GSO 12", so I will be very interested to see it in action and maybe have a squiz through it at Snake Vallley.
What EPs have you with it? Just the stock ones or have you lashed out there as well?

Wow Jen, what an upgrade!
I'll think you'll really enjoy the GOTO 12, I've had mine a few months now and really love it. The GOTO works a treat and the optics are very good.

 WOW!  Looks good Jen.
Try waltzing that around your back yard.
You'll need a set of kitchen steps to look at anything near zenith.
