Nice one Nick, you wouldn't lose that one in the dark! It would be a bit like owning a Harley Davidson motorcycle though, too much polishing...... Clear Skies, Fondofchips.

'Wenge' finish, popular on loudspeakers, should do the job. It would blend in with the background at a dark site, just don't lose the scope in the dark. Brilliant frac pictures from everyone as always, very nice. Clear Skies. Fondofchips.

Astronomy dealer on Wall Street sells them.....if out of stock try Mount Siani or Mont Blanc. They are really good, if you put them high enough on the wall the wife does not notice the telescope clutter! Clear Skies, Fondofchips.

First light report here - http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/252050-first-light-with-sw-esprit-100ed-mallincam-extreme/ That's the learning curve slightly less steep than it was.... Cheers, Fondofchips.

This is my idea of restraint for this week....... Needed a shorter focal length frac for use with the Mallincam Extreme.First (ish) light tonight, fingers crossed.Not a dob in sight and my Newt is up for sale.Clear skies,Cheers,Fondofchips.

Really nice setup you have there Damian, if I had that lot, waiting for first light would drive me nuts! The mount looks particularly well engineered. Clear Skies, Fondofchips.

This topic is as good as any astronomy book, it just gets me wanting a scope upgrade even more every time I visit. Really nice scopes here too many to mention but a big thank you to everyone who has shared their Frac with us. Clear Skies, Fondofchips.

Well I was very fortunate to be offered one as my first scope by Dave (F15rules) and here it is: - That Bresser looks awfully tempting Dave....... Clear Skies,Fondofchips.

Nice scopes you have there Roberto, I'm looking to upgrade mine, the Astro Physics scope would be on my list if my budget went that far.....you have set me off wanting one...must resist. Really nice picture of the scope though (and the mount). Any more fracs anyone? Come on don't be shy! Clear Skies, Fondofchips.

SHOW US YOUR NEWTS........

SW 200P with Moonlite focuser - The frac will be back on the mount soon so that I can clean the mirror and re-collimate it during the summer.Clear Skies,Fondofchips. -
Not outclassed at all, your are in good company here. So much better than a bin with a mirror in the bottom.... I'm going to remember this thread every time the Dob squad descend on a newbie asking which telescope to buy. Cannot argue with bang for your buck Dob value though. Clear skies to all. Fondofchips.
