Re: Your refractor - let's see it
Here's my new starfield 102 Ed Doublet with 0.8x reducer/flattened and ASI585MC.
Sorry but since I received it last week the weather has been shockingly bad.
Expected first light somewhere around January in the next decade by the look of the forecast.

The wiring mess looks the same for both scopes. It's not too bad, and they have the same stock focuser, so I had to figure the focuser bracket out just once.

Re: Your refractor - let's see it
Nice. Great when a plan comes together isn’t it. My TV 102 was equally difficult to come by this side of the pond. There can’t be more than a handful of 102’s this side of the pond and you never see them for sale. We see a few 101’s from time to time at star parties, but no one is selling them. When folks know they are on to a good thing they tend to keep hold of them.
