Finally getting my new scope tommorow!

[Rhino1980 (Ryan)]

I'm taking the day off work to go and pick up my Skywatcher 10 inch Newt and EQ-6 PRO which has finally come in!

Hey great the clouds may head your way !!!

[Rhino1980 (Ryan)]

There has been nothing but murky skies here for months, hopefully its almost run its course!

[erick (Eric)]

Yer gunna have fun! Are you going to look through it or photograph through it?

[Rhino1980 (Ryan)]

Both , and can't wait!

I am thinking that with such a large aperture I can do shorter, unguided exposures until I can afford a GS and A-guider.

We also retained our little 130mm Newt which will make a great little astro-photo scope to start with too. We have a 400D to jam in the focuser.

Congrats on purchase of new scope Ryan, you'll be wrapped.
Should bring it up the Pony Club for a test run under clear skies?????
Make sure you give it first light to get used to and ward off those clouds before the new moon.
10" dob-good pick.
Cheers Rick (remember at Lostock last met)

G'day Rick! Good to hear from you. Thanks for the encouragement. Pony Club could be on the cards, just gotta see what the roster's like (new job).

[Rhino1980 (Ryan)]

Its freakin huge!!! And it came with bonuses too! For the same price I got the white mount and the Black Diamond OTA with the upgraded focuser! I also bought some EP's and a laser collimator too. Gotta get a power supply tomorrow. Can anyone tell me if those jump starter packs are voltage regulated?
Needless to say I am extremely happy! And a big thanks to Luke at Andrews
Cheers
