This telescope even had a nickname "Fastmax", which was pretty daunting. |
Elizabeth starts to open the box. The box is deceptively small. It was heavy and we were wondering what else had been packed in there! The second shock was when it arrived and we tried to set it up for the first time. This scope was heavy! Although shorter in length than our AP refractor, it was far heavier. It took the two of us to set it up on the pier and mount. Of course, we quickly realized that the pier for the refractor was way too high for the mak-newt. So we had to get a new shorter pier. |
The excitement is growing as Elizabeth gets ready to open the case. What have we got ourselves into? |

Jerry's turn. |
