Introducing the SBT

This week, I've been dropping the odd comment here and there, and leaving semi cryptic clues on Facebook, about what I was expecting on Thursday. The story started at least 6 months ago, but came to fruition this week. Last weekend, we visited Tring Astronomy for a look in their showroom. I can't speak highly enough of the customer service and friendliness received from Neil and Jane at their showroom. I've been in email contact with them for a little while and have been very impressed so decided to fit in a visit to their showroom. About an hour later, we left the shop, and in my hand I had a receipt. Thursday it arrived and here it is, the Skywatcher Flextube 300p Dobsonian telescope, or, as I have dubbed it, the SBT! My Slightly Bigger Telescope.
This page gives a detailed look at the build process and the first impressions of it. And so, as the laws of astronomy dictate, anytime anyone buys anything exciting to do with astronomy, I am now condemned to at least two weeks of torrential rain and cloud!
That looks like a Much Bigger Telescope to me! Enjoy :-)
