Hurray its come

[CELESCOPE]

A knock at the door this morning 7.30 and still half asleep , a huge parcel , aha i thought the ED100 from Rus , slowly unpacked it to reveal a lovely looking case , opening the case , had to put my sun glasses on, blimey its beautiful a lovely white and looks the business , so quickly popped it on the EQ6 PRO and balanced it up , the focusser looks very good , slick and smooth ,and has a locking device to stop camera slide at the Zenith , also a fine focusser is set in the side as well , all in all an excellent scope , shall look foward to testing it out , so here is a pic

Congrats Rog, glad to see my old ED100 has gone to a good home! I look forward to seeing some of the images you take with it!

[CELESCOPE]

Shall do my best Gordon , CC its my Birthday and Christmas pressie from the wife , and ehh the next birthday and christmas as well ehehehheheheh ,

Looks good Rog and I'm missing it already. Although i have softened the blow by buying that William Optics ZS66 off UK Buy'n'sell for £100 :shock: .

Also looking forward to seeing those images. And also take a look at Saturn/Jupiter visually......it's a real treat!

Hope it serves you well like it did me.

Oh and I enjoy the chats on the phone........do you mind if i phone again???

Regards

[GordonCopestake]

I nearly brought that Russ!! Looked a bargain hehe, what mount are you going to use it with?

[GazOC]

Me too Gordon. It was a cracking deal for the price but being a mainly visual observer I'm going to stay over 80mm.

[russ]

Astro 3 Gordon.

Gaz, thought it would be a good cheap scope for the checking out the Moon and planets with the kids

[GordonCopestake]

Great stuff Russ, I bet the M603 goes on the Astro 3 too? the petzvaal ZS66 makes a great complimentary 'scope

[russ]

Fortunately i have an EQ5 for the Intes. I did once try the 603 on the astro 3........they didn't go well together.

[GordonCopestake]

A shame as i bet it would make a nice compact setup for grab and go. I always found the EQ5 to be too heavy for grab and go and too light for heavy duty stuff.

[russ]

Compact and light aren't words perhaps used to describe an M603. T34 tank is more appropriate :?

Size wise it's almost the same as a C8 but heavier than the C8!

[GordonCopestake]

lol, EQ5 it is then! Nice 'scope glad you kept it

[richard42]

will be on the edge of my computer chair waiting for the pics from the new scopes!

I orded my new scope today the skywatcher ed80 on the heq5 pro mount and the skywatcher 127 mak

there is going to be some bad weather over the uk
