Alec Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Well about finished other than adding a few shelves. Finished the floor in heavy duty click tiles, painted the walls with Sandtex, added a few brush seals, levelled and polar aligned the pier, sold the ED 80 and purchased a Mak150 for planetary and still awaiting the F2.8 150 sharp star, it’s about 2 weeks in a long boat trip from China.

Had the chance last night to try the mak on the moon, but the elevation was just clipping the edge of the walls 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really looking toward to some awesome views of the moon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Glafnazur Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I am thinking of getting a Mak for planetary viewing. I am leaning towards the Bresser 127, it looks a nice scope. Bottletopburly and Alec 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottletopburly Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Alec there is a thread on your new scope on CN https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/663055-new-sharpstar-15028hnt-initial-impression-with-pics/ worth having a read may come in handy .
