Evening NB

Great scope , i managed to purchase the starwave 102 just over a week ago with focal reducer , managed to use it once so far but was very well impressed with the views of Jupiter i had with it.

They do seem very well built indeed , didnt have any alignment problems with my dewshield , it might be worth given Altair Astro a ring to see if they recommend anything i would have thought there must be away of making a slight adjustment to get it aligned correctley ?.

I to have the focal reducer as well to try my hand at some astro photography in the coming months , but need to confirm the adaptor for the focal reducer , i did notice that Earl had mentioned on one of the other threads that he was using a M48 thread and various adaptors.

Would be interested to see what you are looking at so as i dont make the incorrect purchase , i will be attaching my canon 1000d to mine.

Cant wait for the next clear nights to get some more observing in.

Best wishes

Just thought i would share my experience with Altair Astro.

Dropped altair Astro an email through there contact form on there site , confirming if the Starwave 102 was in stock.

A reply was received almost instantly advising that it was, i followed this up with a few further about delivery and the reports i had read concerning dust on the lenses.

Almost instantly again a reply was received advising that i could have saturday delivery and that the scope would be checked out before dispatch.

Placed my order at about 12.30ish Friday 17/2/12 and received confirmation email straight away.

Scope arrived Saturday 18/2/12 at about 10.00am as prommised.

Unpacked the scope - quick check over all looks perfect, checked the lenses and they appear to be perfect as well.

Very good service indeed.
