Going to pull the trigger (at last) :)

So at long last I have freed some shares money up.......

I have got a 35 Pan and a Nagler 17 already. I am going to order a CPC 1100, a WO 2" diagonal (the £115 one from FLO) an astrozap Dew Shield and also a Dew controller. Speed of setup is really important to me.

I will probably order it all from FLO. I have been emailing Martin and I like him and they seem a reputable outfit. Need to get the order in before SGL...

I have built a 30 Amp PowerPack from a GEL battery, built a Cats Perch chair and got a storage box so ready to go there. Even searched out my hikers Thermos

Is there anything else obvious I should buy? Moon filter perhaps?

I will follow this in a couple of months with a 90mm refractor and a GEM.

Thanks, Steve

Sounds a great setup

Are you able to keep the scope at / near outside temperature ?. Otherwise allowing for cool down could put a dent in your setup time.

I'm not a fan of moon filters myself but I know others find them useful.

I'd agree that FLO are great people to deal with plus they provide that all important after sales support too

Yes, in my German Shepard patrolled garage...
