Here's my scope - it has a 1/32-wave Antares secondary to go with the Zambuto primary, along with the usual nice upgrades offered by Rick. This is the best scope I've ever owned - the views are spectacular, the optics are really dialed in, the structure is solid and accurate, and the tracking is superb.

Great scope and suburb optics. Excellent choice for a lifetime investment. Now, if you could find a place where the twilight doesn't last until 11:15 pm, at least that is what it was in Manistee, Mi in June. I also remember 1977 Jan-Feb when the sun never showed itself for 45 days and it snowed every day as well. Have you considered being a snowbird? Quite a few in Manistee.

Hi Doug,
Excellent choice on the scope and the secondary! grin
I have the same thing, except that mine is a ServoCat with Argo Navis instead of the Starmaster unit.
