Thank you for all of the kind messages, I was going to sign in yesterday but when you have skies like this on your birthday... priorities ;)

moja narodeninová obloha.jpg

Normally gifts are just small items but Sabin really surprised me. For years I have wanted to purchase a APM 152 mm f/7.9 lens in cell as a upgrade for my Celestron C6-R. I now have one! FK-61/ Lak-53 Steinheil doublet which I will be installing later today. I will have to make a new dewshield and cap for it.
Family and friends also got me a lightly used AYO Digi II with Argo Navis encoders installed.
Now I can transfer my AN between the EQ-5, Stellarvue M2C and the AYO :)

Clear skies and thoughtful astro gifts from family and friends - hard to top that. Happy Birthday again Gabby! Can't wait to hear how the new lens behaves.
