Landing in Australia in a couple of weeks is the latest version of the 300mm (12") F4 Sky-Watcher "Quattro" reflector.
We've seen some amazing images produced by the smaller versions of these fast reflectors. Can't wait for these to get into the hand of local astropohotgraphers and see what they can produce.

It's definitely the time of the year to view The Pleiades (M45) also known as The seven sisters.

Thanks for sharing this Mike!
