Yipeee ... my new scope has arrived :)
hopefully tonite It will make "first light" last nite was cloudy

Golly Gosh its some what bulkier than I expected hahaha, I was hoping to take it to Cairns, Queensland, Australia in November for the total solar eclipse, but that aint going to happen. The main scope unit is 26kg (~ 56lbs) and the tripod another 18kg.
But I have to credit Celestron, it is built strong! compared to the tiny forks of the early Celestrons that came out in the '70's and '80's
Am looking forward to reviving my astro photography activities that have been pretty much in recess since I left New Zealand 12 years ago.
