  1. He taught me spectroscopy when I was an Astronomy undergraduate, and was a terrific teacher. Nice to see he has kept busy
  2. Low-power browsing with a 2" eyepiece should be a natural use-case for it, but there are some slight frustrations - it's very focuser-heavy and hard to balance with a 2" diagonal and a heavy 2" eyepiece, as the short dovetail doesn't give much room for adjustment. I find mine a bit easier with a lighter max-FoV 1.25" eyepiece (I have a 24mm Meade SWA, but a 24mm Panoptic would be great too), and that seems to be a good combination and gives wide fields with less weight. Haven't had time or clear-enough skies to really test mine out properly - only arrived from FLO a couple of weeks ago, and life's been busy! - but first signs have been pretty positive, and i'm pleased with the purchase.
  3. Thumbs up for Rupert at astrograph.net from me. Very quick and helpful exchange of emails when I was looking for an alt-az mount, and two orders were received very rapidly.
