Here is the place to talk about all those equipment(Telescope, Mounts, Eyepieces, etc...) you have. Not sure which scope/eyepiece is best for you? Trash it out here!
Wah MooEy beat me to posting pics of this new scope from WO but here's mine. Collected this scope only this morning, so no first star-light yet. Everything looks excellent so far; will write more after more use. I love the yellow finishing on the scope, which is nice to look at in person than in the pics. Coarse focuser has a few subtle rough spots but fine focuser is excellent. My package comes with the UWAN 28mm eyepiece, which is impressive to look at and look through Its great-value for the money.
Damping time on the Portamount with the T6 5mm Nagler is about 2 seconds, which is acceptable for me. So luckily don't have to go get a new mount. Once the scope check out well, it will be time to consider selling off my red WO 80FD as well as Meade 5k 24mm UWA. ...

Well, this condition is severe and the cure is not a walk in the park, but I'm sure generous doses of clear skies will offer relieve!
Congrats CC (and Mooey) its a beauty! Now all you need to do is apint the words "Celestron Nexstar 80ED"..hahaha...
But sigh...that means clouds clouds clouds. :roll:

I am not a star-test expert but a quick look at Sirius reveal nice smooth concentric rings inside and outside of focus with no astigmatism and no obvious colour at focus. Very happy with the scope and UWAN 28 so far.
