I shouldn't have said anything. It's already clouding up outside! Anyway,
I'm only doubling my aperature for imaging to 10". I'm keeping the FS-128
though for wider-field shots (and because it is a superb scope!). Eventually
I will sell it to hopefully someone here on the TAC list (a few of you have
expressed interest).

Anyway, here it is... a picture of *my* actual scope according to Brad Erhorn.
He's just waiting for the optics to arrive back from the coater:

BTW, with the hyperbolic optics this scope has should make it an excellent
visual (deep-sky/planetary) scope too.
