"I am so so Sorry...OTA arrived"

My new 10" LX200R OTA arrived today.

The weather forcast includding today say's rain for the rest of the week......sorry

The OTA looks identical to the standard 10" LX200.

2 difference's I can see on first observation cosmeticaly

1) LX200R Badge on the back.
2) Advance Ritchey Chretien written around the corrector plate.

Otherwise no difference...I am just fitted both the losmandy dovetail plates to the top and bottom and it will spend the night and probably the rest of the week sitting on the pool table...it's raining outside.

I will provide a picture once I get it all set up.

It's been crystal clear for three nights running here in Old Ballarat, but very brisk, about -2 each night, my camera even froze last night, shutter seized.
Not the DSLR, but an old film camera.

Cheers

I'll be selling it "as new".

...I have also just fitted both the losmandy dovetail plates to the top and bottom and it will spend the night and probably the rest of the week sitting on the pool table...until it's sold.

I will provide a picture once I get some bids.

Any takers?
I've PMed you Tony!!

Will you be including the pool table in the price?

From what I have read, it is pretty much the same except for its vast improvement on the edges.
