M collected his big ass Telescope yesterday...and today he flew off to Manila.
At least he loaned me his C90 to mess around with along with the NexImage CCD. Haven't had a chance to try them out yet though.
Compare that with my own very old C90 side by side and you'd notice some differences; such as...
1) on mine, the darn focusing ring is on the tube itself...so whenever I try to focus, the whole scope would move...a big no-no if you're trying to spot Jupiter or Saturn...
2) I don't have the 90° dual-view thingy. which means that I have to rely on a star dianganol.
3) Mine's an 1000mm f/11 as compared to his 1200mm f/13 so it's a little bit brighter.
Anyway, he's coming back on the 14th so we're gonna go hang out somewhere n do some stargazing.
