New Gear

New gear arrived. Many thanks to Tandum, who was patient and did an excellent job of packing the gear safely. Now I have to live up to this unit's potential.

As they say we learn by challenging and stressing ourselves.

EQ8, 12" F4 GSO with 3" 0.9 ASA Wynne corrector, taking it to F3.6.

Now all I have to do is get my 10" GSO CF RC and EQ6 Pro onto the for sale section to pay for it

all the best

Paul
