First Light..
Felt good enough tonight to assemble the scope/tripod, and later took it out for a quick "First Light". I'm impressed!
 Some things as expected, others far better than expected...and, of course, there are several things that need some work before the scope can really perform to it's capabilities. I'll do a proper review on it all asap, but will say I had a nice crisp view of Saturn w/rings at 29x. This little scope and I are going to have some serious fun together...  Mike

Hey Dizz, I'm late here, but I'm glad to see you got something you can just bop around with. Man, it was made for my EQ-2 mount! I'm with Vin, though, wanting to see it atop that Sirius mount. I wouldn't be surprised if you find yourself going out the door more often with that scope on a small mount.
I have an old Sears 60mm, f11 scope that I thought about getting some rings for. Only drawback is mine uses 0.965" eyepieces--yuk. I have two. Actually the optics are pretty good, though. It also has a mount like yours. I could never make peace with that mount. So, I oughta get it on the EQ-2 if I'm ever gonna really use it. Have fun there, Bro!
