I wanted to sort out my cabling - I have to do something while it's cloudy/raining - so setup my scope to do just that. I took the opportunity to take a picture while it was all set up. I've labelled all the main components - because it's cloudy/raining...
Nice scopes everyone !
well, It arrived today, what can I say, Boy-O-Boy, Im happy! Looks ok on the Neq6p, and actually glad I didnt push for the 12" : )

Lovely looking scope here Flash ! , you sure know how to pick 'em .
The pearl white paint looks like the same colour as my now sold SV 80mm Aplanet , it's a beautiful finish !! .

Well I actually bought it a few weeks ago, and funnily enough that was the weekend of heavy weather and flooding across SE QLD and NSW north coast. I had to make a weekend trip out to Newcastle from my place in Griffith, and had planned to camp overnight before the drive back home. Was all packed and set for a night under the stars, planned a gourmet camp meal, camera gear packed for some star trail shots from the campsite over a few relaxing reds, and instead...howling winds and 80mm of torrential rain!!!

One might call that 'just desserts'. I'm still being hounded by the C.A.N.A.A.

Here is my Takahashi SKY90 with Lunt Hershell wedge and Coranado Solarmax 40 on a side by side set up I made for solar viewing on my Vixen Super Polaris mount , cost me $56 for the 2 , GSO vixen dovetail holders from Andrews .
Just need some fine days to use it .
