todays headline: monstroscopes chromat finaly is in reprocessing and will receive it's final blessing by one of the best opticians you can find! :rockon:
had to wait until some satelite optics are done, but now he starts with the monsters eye! :hamster:

during the time i was able to get an Alt7 mount to replace the Type2 mount. now i just need to build the observatory :silly: be prepared for a hot summer! ;)
