New (old) LX90LNT - my new scope ARRIVED!

Well here it is all setup for the first time.......everything seems to be working OK, even the Smartfinder. I also received a brand new Telrad (unmounted) with the scope FREE and a SCTcooler plus other assorted odds and ends like Kendrick heater.

Question- the Telrad has "sticky tape" on the bottom. Will this hold for a long while or just mess up the tube paint and fall off later?

and ...........YES that's my Criterion Dynamax 8" SCT setting on the table behind the new scope. HA!!! smile

The tape will hold just fine and it can be remove later without harming the paint. You can pull it loose or saw it loose with dental floss and then clean off any remaining with WD-40 and a clean cloth.
Setup look great, should be a lot of fun. grin
