Ordered a Orion 180mm Mak-Cass today (F15). I have been waiting for a scope like this for a long time. It's kind of my birthday present to myself...?
Most expensive gift I ever bought myself..lol 1248.95 US dollars delivered.

hey, if you can't treat yourself every now and then........

well done and make sure you post the piccies as it arrives, gets opened, gets assembled, gets a big cuddle...etc

I received my 180mm yesterday. Of course the clouds appeared when the scope arrived. I was able to do a quick star test early this morning. Looks good. To be continued.
