I was not a site member at the time and regret this every time I mount it up, someone would have told me it was not meant to be. This was my mistake believing a photo on a catalogue, why do they pull tricks like this. The main scope is not very heavy at 8kg and sits much better on the HEQ 5 pro mount than their M/N 190mm. The finder is the same as the one that comes with the M/N190mm only being a different colour, though I firmly believe the quality of the black one that came with the M/N is better, it seems sharper to me. So the box came with 5 things in it and I set off home with 2 things, the finder and the scope. With having mainly Televue accessories they were never going to be in the frame. I asked if both of these could be passed to someone starting out as part of a purchase to help them along. I unboxed it with him in the shop, there were a few things that were in my books not up to scratch from the outset, the eyepieces and the diagonal. When the scope arrived I collected it as always from Sofia from my friend who is the Meade/SW main dealer. The scope cost about 830 pounds for me here which is not as good a deal as you can get in the UK but you have to consider I also bought the 190mm M/N at the same price, so much a case of swings and roundabouts. I got this scope a few months ago now and have a good few nights out under the stars to see what makes it tick.
