Completed set up at last

[andrew956]

My Skytee set up is now complete picked up the f/11 newt this morning from OO it has 1/12PV optics so i am looking forward to some exceptional viewing when the seeing is right of Saturn. Its been a long wait for all of this to come together with the modifications to the tripod and then the half pillar to make everything fit and the making of the scope but it was worth it. Attached pics show the skytee 2 with both of my OO scopes attached hope you like the set up.

Just a couple more pics to show you tube length comparison between the 200mm f/6 and the f/11.

All you need is a fire control radar and you could shoot down planes

Joking aside, a very nice set-up

[andrew956]

Cheers Roger I must admit I laughed at your post nice one mate.

Nice one Shane the tubes are long on these f/11s i am really looking forward to using it they managed to grind me 1/12PV mirror aswell i am so happy with that. :icon_salut:

[Moonshane]

Awesome! Short tubes need not apply! I have an f/12 refractor and I make an excellent potato salad!

Too bad... the gas for the drive would kill me!

andrew956 that looks like a killstreak reward from call of duty lol...it looks awesome!

[andrew956]

Thanks for your comments

Great setup you have there, and i would imagine 1/12th pv and f11 must give awesome planetary views.

I wonder what would happen if you set it up at the end of one of Heathrow's runways. Bet you'd have plenty of "friends" paying you a visit before you knew what was happening.

The f/11 is an awsome scope the view i had the other night of Saturn was fantastic everything was sharp and the Cassini division was easily seen using my 7mm Nagler. If you are a planetary enthusiast it would be worth giving Orion Optics a call to make one trust me you will not be disapointed.
