Looks a beaut Carl, can't wait for the first images.

Congrats on the purchase.

Not sure what all the numbers mean but it is one stunning looking piece of equiptment.

Aperture 110mm .............thats like what? 4 inch?...........

Not that BIG so i'm guessing the magic happens inside the tube.

And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time. . . .

Hi Pj

The reason I got this was for doing deep sky astrophotography. If I wanted a scope for visual astronomy I would have got a bigger scope. So the only thing looking through this scope will be a cdd camera. Hope this clears things up for you. :wink:
