Thanks Kain,

When you get ya Dob 8" you can mate maybe a bit of work with no drives but thats how i started and you can get some nice results, worth the effort Kain.

Nice to see you putting the refractor to good use mate. I know some people thought I was mad when I said I've got this great Chinese refractor off Ebay...

Gaz,

The frac really is Awsome mate the views of the Moon are esp good the higher Focal Ratio really works well with the scope , focusser is really one step up from the Skywatchers basic focusser and image shift is nearly none visable also the CA isnt too bad either which was a pleasent suprise after using that 6" Celestron Frac in the past.

yep, I think the fact that its 9.4 is the big plus.
