Hi,
Anyway, look at the guys in the picture compare to the curry pot! :shock: The curry pot look bigger than I thought... or just we all are too "small size"???

Have a nice day.

Maybe they should take picture standing up? Then I would have a good idea on how tall I have to be to use it comfortably! Heh..

Nice scope! Is it heavy?

Wait a minute... proud owners? You mean all of you chipped in for this scope?

Pete Smitka uses the same size curry pot for the 14.5", so actually this is a 14.5" curry pot, that's why it looks very big :-)

Canopus: Ya, see u next week. U better get your passport renewed in time :) :)

Chee Yiun: My initials was applied onto the scope by Mag1. Me not so vain ah.. :)

Weixing: won't upgrade to 14.5 cos' the truss tubes and UTA would have to be replaced to accommodate the longer focal length, and the visual difference between 12.5 and 14.5 is not so big.

cheers
