Thanks....that was sort of funny...looks like the old classic scopes of the
60s and 70s...12.5" Newtonian on a mount made for an 8" scope.... Mike J. Shade: mshade@q.com Mike J.

Vega, the brightest one, is now dropping towards the west. Can it be half a year since I watched her April rising in the east? Low in the southwest Antares blinks a sad farwell to fall...

I think the OTA is 27#, the mount's capacity is 45#...looking at the portability factor primarily. I know a 130 f/6.3 works easy enough but not the bigger scope... Thanks... Mike J.
