Ant Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I'm really sorry chaps.I've just ordered a SX USB Filterwheel and a SX OAG. I'm hoping that I'll have them on Thursday - But it is JUNE so it give us at least 6 weeks before we can get even close to darkness again!!! I'm all excited now.Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
