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!

Sorry guys, can't help it!! I finally got a purchase notice from Astro-Physics!!!
Don't want to say which scope, but it has been a long 11 years of wait! Can you believe it?? 11 goddamn years!!! They didn't forget me this foreigner afterall!
Hard to describe the feeling after 11 years of wait.
So those of you still waiting, don't give up!!!

You won't believe this, but I have been paying Pacnet for 11 years just to keep my email address hoping AP will email me one day.
And the day came.

The funny thing is I got this AP email the same day I got my hands on the Meade 127mm APO.
