Looking For Baby Sitter for 8" SCT

[swimaniac]

Hi

Just asking around, I am in the process of moving house and will have to squat in temporary accomodation (maybe Changi beach) for about a month or so until my place is ready. I will be storing my stuff in a warehouse.

Trying to be thick skinned and asking if anyone is willing to baby sit my Meade 8" SCT with a Porta mount. Scope with finder, eyepieces, etc are all in a Pelican box with roller (cant remember the model number but it is big).

Of course, baby sitter is free to use the scope as and when he/she wants. For those who know me, I am not a fussy guy and have lent my scope and equipment with no questions asked.

Just that I don't want to store the scope in a warehouse if I can help it. Oh yes, I have a 80mm WO refractor as well.

Any kind souls?

Cheers

I can find some space in my house for you, you have storage cabinet for them? Likely they will just sit in my place as I am too lazy to setup my own scope, haha.

@swimaniac: What is the model of the Meade 8"? UHTC coating?

@Clifford: Great! Let's have a 8" Celestron vs Meade shootout this month.

I'd offer but I'd be scared to damage it since I've never had an SCT before

Hi Guys

Just got off the phone with Clifford who has very kindly agreed to baby sit my SCT.

Gary - yes it is with UHTC coating.

Cloud Cover - I never had a SCT before and neither did I have a telescope. Need to be brave and confident close your eyes, wipe your hands dry and go for it. HeHe

Thanks guys.

Hahaha! I shall "master" my 80ED first although I had delicious thoughts of 'sitting your 8" and occasionally setting it up

Hi C C
No worries. You can always try contact Clifford. I got no issues with anyone using the scope.
