Well I finally have my new lenses they consist of 25mm BST, 15mm BST, 8mm BST and 3.2mm BST. + 32mm Panaview and the standard lenses I have also modded the skywatcher focuser with the lacerta fine focuser mod kit and it works beautifully. I have also added a rigel quickfinder i dont think i will be doing or getting anything else for a while, or doing any more mods just going to enjoy it now weather permitting. PS I got out of taking the other half to the smoke for a long weekend Phew! Instead I paid for her to go to Walsingham Abbey in July.
