Cheers Dave and good luck with your new scope too! In my opinion it is the Goldilocks of imaging scope, not to long and not too short it's juuust right.

Fantastic job as usual Mike. I have the exact same scope on order (from AGO instead of Orion) and look forward to getting results anywhere near as good as yours.
