I had seen my name on the list of christmas winners, I googled the description and it came up as a small astral telescope.
"Very nice" I thought, but decided to wait to say thanks 'till my prize arrived.

.....well today it did and forget about a "small" telescope, the box it came in is almost as tall as myself and weighs nearly as much.

... a Danubia Delta 30 Catadioptric Reflector Astro Telescope .

I haven't yet unpacked it but it looks like a terrific piece of equipment....'gonna have to buy a box of do-nuts and move to a block of flats

Once again ...many thanks Pete, If posting on the open forum was a mistake,I apologise but my membership would not let me privately message you.

....many, many thanks....Mike

Quote: Yes that's a top prize, serious telescope worth about £300. You should be able to attach a camera to it too - I think you just need a camera mount and T2 adaptor.

Man, I'd love one of them...put me down for next years recipient please!

If your lucky you might be able to attach your camera to the scope as Pete suggested...Then you can get a close focus shot of Eagle & Egret " Eye Balls " .....Might be a change.....
