Bring out the big guns

Hi ho hello, finally I found a suitable scope for my use. 200/1200mm f/6 Newtonian reflector made by Orion UK. Havent had a chance to test it out yet because of the weather, I am also gonna do some modifications to the platform. Planning to put some large screws on the bottom of the plate so I could use it on uneven ground aswell. Also I need to shed weight from the platform (45 kg of solid steel!), I am probably gonna cut off pieces to make it more X-shaped.

Cant wait for clear skies! I am also gonna buy some eyepieces for planetary / deep sky observing. :)

Behold the rusty mightiness!
