Couple of quick pictures of the new scope and my wonderful assistant:

Great pictures mate. How are you finding the scope? Have you used in anger yet?

Whats with the eyepatch .... did I miss something :pirate:

[GordonCopestake]

Beats squinting Steve. I use my wolly hat pulled down over one eye hehe

[The Warthog]

I suffer from thyroid eye disease, which causes me to have vertical double vision at present. I wear the eyepatch most of the time. I put sunglasses on for most pictures without the eyepatch, because my eyes are often obviously not pointing in the same direction. It's a big PITA. I'm seeing some specialists about it later this month, hoping they can do something about it.

I see, sorry to hear that... I assumed you had a Jack Sparrow thing going on there :pirate:

[The Warthog]

It is also very good for observing, as I don't need to squint my left eye closed, and this gives a more relaxed feeling to observing. Get a decent eyepatch, though. The ones they sell in the drug stores are useless.

I love that pirate emoticon, though! :pirate:

I find I don't normally need to close an eye when looking thru the eyepiece. After saying that, it is not so easy when using a Newtonian with a white tube!
