Hey Keith,

Good choice! I have mine out right now, and it
is just fantastic! Seeing all the tiny blinkers
in the heart of the Orion Nebula with great contrast,
and have Saturn in the ep now and it is looking
good and will look superb later. Go-To's & tracking
are excellent! Hope you enjoy yours!! grin

Take care,
Bob

I like your pier setup - looks very stable. Did it do former duty with a Newtonian? How did you manage the interface to attach the CPC1100?
