johnridleyAfter paying bills this morning, I ordered the last major Astronomy bit - a base and tripod for the telescope tube that showed up last night. I got it from a place I'd never shopped before, Optics Planet, over in the Chicago area. I'm normally pretty careful about lowest price, but the video on their website led me to believe that they seemed like a legit company.
They had it in stock in their warehouse and had the lowest price and free shipping, they confirmed stock on the phone and I had a tracking number via email within an hour.
This will let me put all the pieces together next week, to make sure everything works with plenty of time to fiddle or get additional parts before it gets warm enough that I'm likely to want to use the thing much.
