8" Teeters update

Got my 8" Teeters today! This is another super well made scope, with
Royce
optics. The moon and deepsky objects appear very sharp and show excellent
contrast, it's in the 40's with fast falling temps, so this is not the
best
nite to test optics.
The good thing about this is, i can set it up in two trips, take out the
rocker
box, then carry out the complete UTA and mirror box without breaking my
back!
Another plus being f/8 is no more coma, and collimation is a snap, from
what i
can tell this scope is very well built and has excellent optics, if anyone
would like a longer focus Dob, just give Rob a call at Teeters, he will
build
you a fine scope!!!
