Another scope! :^0

I just could not help myself and I have purchased another Steven Collett Dob. This is another 12.5" that is the sister scope to my other 12.5", ut this one is f/5.2 where the other was f/4.9.
Here is a picture of the scope with it's former owner at private site last August. Another nice Collett special.

Oh Floyd, you naughty boy!
I just put the covers on your old 12.5".
I was watching the transit of Io in the BinoVue's.
The seeing was not very good, but I had fun anyway.
I was able to see both Io and it's shadow.
Not a bad scope at all.
What kind of primary mirror does the sister have?

We just got through trying to help Dave solve his 8.8mm-7mm ep gap problem, now this. Let's see now, an 10 F4.7, 10 F6, 12,5 F5.2, 14 F4.3. Seems to be some blaring gaps here, namely 13.1 F5, 9.25 F10, etc., where do I go next. Running from scope to scope, eye piece to eye piece, I'm melting, I'm melting. We also have a camp in SC for your telescopes, you need serious help; I'm here if you need me.

Thanks for the nice plug, Floyd!! Here's my nearly-finished walnut & copper equatorial / ED 80.
