Description

First light GSO RC 10" telescope.

After 3 years with the 6" and 8" RCs that have taught me a thing OR TWO about handling this kind of reflector, the desire to step up to a 10" became impossible to resist.

The first night after receiving the scope was clear and so were many in the weeks to follow, a welcome anomaly - and when it came to choosing the target there was no contest, for me it had to be the Elephant Trunk.
