I RECEIVED MY 6" F12 D&G REFRACTOR AFTER ABOUT A 10 MONTH WAIT. THE LENS IS PERFECT AND I'M SEEING LOTS OF NEW FINE LUNAR AND PLANETARY DETAIL.

THE PICTURE SHOWS MY HOME MADE ALT - AZ MOUNT FOR IT.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

The mount IS beautiful, but the scope is what gets my motor revin'.

Welcome to long focal length refractors. grin

Very Nice! What did you use for bearings on your mount? And the tripod?

That's very, very nice.

So just what IS the attraction/addiction for large achromats?
