My new CPC1100

Thats some scope and mount/tripod. I cant get over just how BIG the forks are on that thing.

Very nice, maybe one day!

Lovely scope, I have the earlier version and trying to locate the scope on the tripod is a two person job. As I can't lift the whole 30 kg ota, I am the one lying on the ground trying to locate the bolts into the holes. I also use the Stella Cam 2 with it and it is perfectly matched to this gear producing some stunning views of DSO even in suburbia. Hope you get as much joy out of it as I do! (except for the above mentioned problem) Clear skies.

I was thinking of getting the 925 but I am starting to think of the 1100 instead. I am a big strong lad and you only live once. The 1100 is only a few hundred quid more and I don't want to end up regretting not getting the extra aperture. Then again, 925 is still a biggie...

Thing is in my situation I can use it from the back garden but to get some proper dark sky I need to move to the back of where I live 400m away - so i'd need to build a box and a trolley of some sort as well

Questions, questions.....!!!!

400m away, trolley? I would suggest a small fork truck
