New scope choice - 120ED? Any other options?

[Mr Spock]

Flextube goto. I weighed up all the pros, cons, conveniences and costs of all variants and that just came out on top.

Probably a bit late now but there's a 250 flextube in the classifieds....

Are you happy with the weight that you will have to move - significant even with long handles ?

[Mr Spock]

Yes. With my back, as long as it's straight, I can lift a ton. It's when I hold things out in front of me problems start. Manhandling an EQ6 is impossible due to having to hold it in front of me.

Can’t beat a new scope Michael.

I think you’ve chosen very wisely and FLO’s service is second to none

[Mr Spock]

Busy cleaning out the shed this weekend. Started today.

Despite only ordering a week ago, scope is arriving Monday  Amazing service from FLO as always 👍

[Mr Spock]

It's arrived!!!

First a bit of weirdness - it arrived by two different vans about 15 mins apart. What? I would think that's not very efficient, but who knows.

Good news is, I can lift the two parts. This means my observing patio up the garden in in play rather than the patio next to the shed. Yay!
