New 'scope

Having sold a digital camera that was surplus to requirements I've treated myself to a new telescope.

It's an Opticron ES 80 GA ED/45. That's quite a mouthful, and indeed it's quite a hefty beast in comparison with the old 'scope. It looks like this.

Hopefully the bigger objective lens and fancy, "low dispersion" glass will mean brighter, crisper digiscoped bird photos.

No promises mind!
