I try and do a bit of running & cycling. I play pool & am learning the piano. I fit astronomy in when the sky and time is right. Another thing is HiFi & turntable (a lovely past time). I often think I could have a few grand in my pocket instead, but then I would never see the planets, moon & stars. Also what would I do with a few grand ? ......apart from spend it on another telescope setup to see the sky again. I would miss it if it wasn't there. I do wish it was used a little more, but it's there and that is comforting.

Gina this project looks exceptional. I can't even begin to understand the details, but it makes me want a 3D printer. Saying that I think I may stick to film photography & scanning. Its always very interesting to see your posts.

Sounds dry as a bone Mike. Shame. However looks like a great mount once this is overcome.

You won't regret it, this scope continues to fill me with joy every time it comes to mind, for me it is everything I need.

I was only looking at this again today, but I can't justify it over my Berlebach & Sabre mount, I think I will just pretend the AZ8 does not exist

Ha fair enough, I suppose the EP's, 4" 'finder scope' & dovetail plate just goes in a rucksack & the red torch in the trouser pockets then? A star chart would be pushing it a bit far really.

Well he has grabbed it, and it looks like he is having a long think about the going bit

Ordered a few items from RVO now and both times service was 1st class. Items arrived within 24 hours of placing order, and stock numbers can be verified over the phone. Another friendly place to shop.

Ipeace those look really great I am in the process of going from an old VIxen Porta 1 to a Altair Sabre II on a Berlebach Uni 28. Im also in hope that its a noticeable jump up. I have been wondering for a few years what if, with all these Alt Az mount paraphernalia.

365 Astronomy offered me an excellent service. Zoltan was quick in reply to my questions by email, service was swift and item was accurate. He was happy to measure the item with digital calipers so I could verify precisely if it would fit. Cheers Zoltan !
