Skywatcher 250pds

Well the new scope has arrived after the sale of my OO SPX200 and i must admit i am impressed with the build quality its like a tank and looks fantastic but looks are not the main thing its performance in astronomy. I decided to offload the SPX as i was after a little more aperture so after a lot of reading i decided to buy the SW250pds. I am mainly a visual observer and also have a OO f/11 Newt but needed a larger scope to view the fuzzes in my urban location. It has not had first light as the weather has been terrible and the moon is nearly full so it is a waiting game to get the big scope out under some clear skies. I would be interested to hear from any other members who have and use this scope visually to see what they think the eyepieces i will be using are 7-12-17-20mm Naglers and a 32mm Televue wide field so if you have any comments i would be grateful thanks.

I have the same one as you unless you over 7ft tall get a big box to stand on. + 2 more rings you see why when you set it up.
