My new scope has arrived ( Now With Pics)

[Johnie]

Hey that almost looks like the scopes my dad used to make back in that day.

[mumof2]

i think you ought to have a party with all that booze!!!

i agree!

I have to say that I may not have understood any of what it does and how it does it, but I will be happy to reap the benefits of the pretty pictures.

and i agree!



i better say this really quietly or you may take great offence and wallop me....the 2nd picture, it immediately made me think of a type of 'Honey I Shrunk The Kids' 35mm film cannister! sorreeeeey

My 80mm scope ( deep sky) takes in light at about 180x what your eyes do - my old 8 inch takes it in at 800x and this at 1200 x

I will be using this for moon and planet pics

1200x !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! :-O

ok officially impressed. I can't wait to see what you get with that

[Dawn]

Nice garage.

[Skywatcher]

no its not

the booze is all presents, I don't drink wine so if anyone is passing they can help themselves

[Deb]

Oh, I'm on my way then! I was admiring your booze shelf!

Anyway, back to the scope...it's blumming big isn't it?? Wow!!!! Looking forward to seeing some pics!

[Slowhand]

It seems like it was worth the wait Chris. Looking forward to seeing the piccies.

Before you get to play with the new scope there are a couple of things you need to do first.

Clean your garage and finish your trip report
