Hi Chris,

Congratulations on your new scope! I see that you live in NJ, the light
pollution capitol of the US...so do I.

My 10" LX200 is not quite as heavy as your new scope, so I have only one
suggestion for you...buy a ScopeSaver table. Unless you are built like a
linebacker for the Giants, you (and your back) will quickly recognize the
advantages of owning one of these. Enjoy your telescope!

Al
