Bit of quick update here...

It's friday night, and i'm in between pubs :whistle:

The etalon was released from the PST today :evil: it is now sat, in place, in the Townley PST Mod Scope, all i'm waiting for is some cloud breaks tomorrow for first light... The terrible news is Mrs Townley is away at her sisters for the weekend which means I am home alone :ohmy: After a few coffees in the morning a normal, more sensible, service will resume whereby will respond properly to all questions and definitely get some pictures of the whole project up for all to see...

I'm really looking forward to the world of 100mm Ha B)
