New Scope Arrives

The new scope has arrived. The seller did a nice job packing it, and it's in beautiful condition. The only way to tell that it's used is a few clamp marks on the dovetail.

First impressions of the focuser suggest it's a great improvement over the GSO I've been using on my ST80. Tonight or tomorrow I'm going to reconfigure my imaging set up to have the AT72ED and ST80 side-by-side to see how it all balances out.

Of course, the forecast for the week ahead is clouds, clouds, and even more clouds. So don't expect a star test report, much less an image made using it anytime soon.
