Hi, Bob, & welcome to SGL. 

They look like 2 very nice scopes. I took a while to start appreciating globs, but I'm coming round. M5 is my fave (at the moment!)

Thanks all for your kind words.  Will post pic when I get my AT 115 setup' The weather this weekin is cold and damp and cloudy.  Last weekin was 3 days of perfect skies but that darn moon was coming up. Thats the way it is here in what they call the Ohio Valley area of the US.  Clear one day clouds the next. But we do get allot of clear nights in the summer and winter' about  40% clear. Thanks again Bob
