My salesman at Analytical Scientific said it would be on the BBT at 1700. He also said I could recieve it by Friday, but I'm not holding my breath. Three day en-route time from San Antonio to Southern Illinois? Yeah uh-huh.
With my luck it will be Monday at the earliest, but at least it's coming.

Your going to like that big refractor a-lot. If you realy want killer planetary views look at getting a binoviewer for it some day. I have two 6" refractors, one is an APO, and the other is an Archromat.

Hi, Don.
I don't EVER want to look through a 6" apochromat; some things I just can't afford to fall in love with. My main scopes are SCT's but there's something special about starfields in a decent refractor. I wouldn't have the 4" APO but it showed up one day as a swap for a scope I wasn't using and seduced me. The 5" neo-achromat does very well but it's no APO.
I still have a 6" achromat as well (thanks, Allister!) and it gives great views too. If that new AR-6 looks and works as well as mine did it will give you some wonderful evenings.

It's getting closer.

Left Little Rock at 0216 en-route to Earth City Mo.
I guess I will be getting it tomorrow after all. UPS has improved that's for sure.

Out the Door for delivery at 0530. I guess it will be waiting for me when I get home from work tonight.
I know what I'll be doing in the basement all night tonight.
