Beautiful scope Bryan! Did you ever post a first-light observing report on it?

Just discovered this section on classic/vintage scopes and your thread early this morning. Besides the 3" classic Tasco Newtonian first-light, the RTMC Star Party and the Brisbane trip, haven't contributed any threads to this website. Hopefully I'll do more this year...

Thanks, Terry!

I had a first light back on the 12th of July but I'm not sure I actually made a report on that.

I did post this: https://www.theskysearchers.com/viewtop ... =22&t=3893

And this: https://www.theskysearchers.com/viewtop ... 174#p16174

I've not filed many reports here on TSS. I'm slacking. :lol:
