[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 656729, member: 4728"] Yeah. I like to take this mount together with a shorter SCT telescope tube with us when we go away in the caravan prospecting and can get access to the wonderful dark bejeweled night skies in the goldfields. Ground my own mirror (8") when I was a teenager but badly scratched it just before it was ready to be vacuum aluminised and gave up as the scratch was too deep and I would almost have had to start the two month long hand grinding and polishing process all over again. Never finished the project but still have it as a reminder now to finish what I start. Too badly scratched and cracked now to even think about finishing it and besides I have some money to buy stuff now. Boy do I need it when you have to spend money on prospecting and Astro stuff.
