My word! you don't see many of them about!

Absolutely awesome Gavin. No wonder you were excitedly anticipating a new arrival when we chatted the other day! I picked up the FC76 I was  telling you about so sky full of clouds here tonight. Look forward to reading how you get on with this beauty.

Hi there Gavster. I think i might have purchased the other of the two that were on sale there at Skypoint . I was wondering when that last one was going to sell - i almost bought both! Although I'm also on the 'List' - i could NOT pass up the chance to get an AP130GTX off the shelf. My one has been absolutely wonderful to use (Visual only). I'm so glad that i jumped when i had the chance.

cheers

Skypoint are still showing availability even though I thought had purchased the last one, so they may still have one?

Their must be only a handful of people in the world that own borh of those two refractors right now. You are a rare thing indeed.

Quite what you think, feel is fascinating.

Regards to them both and your good self.
