Congrats on the scope!
Yes TS really packs it well...this week i finaly got rid of those tons of green chips from my last purchase. I had to drive all the way to our 'container park' in my home town to get rid of them...
Thanks! Yeah, every package I've received from TS has been superbly packed and arrived undamaged inside.
I managed to get the CF-APO 102 out under dark skies at the Nebraska Star Party. Unfortunately though, not feeling well I only used it to get a few short exposures of the things I was observing through the eyepiece of the ES ed127 mounted next to it. Just couldn't bring myself to give up any visual apature under those skies so I left the 102 with the reducer flattener and Canon RP attached the whole time.
