  1. so i dont really think weight is going to be an issue at all:) (sorry that sounded so "look at me", it really isnt meant to be:o)
    Hmm.. I think you're missing the point here which is that you have to hold a 10" scope up to balance it when it is on the dovetail. It isn't the fact that it's the weight that's the problem, more the fact that you need to move it 1 inch upwards holding a 10" tube in one hand with the mass of it some 2ft to your right which is totally different to holding a 10kg weight as a dumbell....

    I don't doubt you are strong, nor that you can handle the weight, it's just that if you have to fiddle night after night to get it in just the right position so that it's both balanced and easy to see through, you might not bother at all. If you are happy doing this then that's fine, but all people are doing is warning you that it's not just the absolute weight that's the issue.

  2. Yay... a happy bunny. Ordered at 11am yesterday and arrived 10:20 today - EQ6Pro, DMK21, Ambubble and an allegedly "not in stock" WO SCT focuser. Now wayyyy overdrawn but I can't wait to get out there with this.

    Steve: I thought you said 8-10 days for the focuser - how did you manage to magic that one :D :D
