That looks like a terrific set-up Steve.

Of course, you do realise that buying new equipment is notorious for encouraging more clouds to appear? :roll:

Anyway, good luck with your new gear and we look forward to hearing your viewing report when you get the opportunity.

Looks good Steve, did you pass the SCT on or is it hiding in the back?
