Hi Brian,
I'm sure I can complete it in 12 months, but depending on clear skies, it could be as little as 9 months.?
The Herschel 400 is one of the Astronomical League Observing Programs. I'm still very much a visual amateur astronomer, so I really enjoy star hopping, and learning the night sky in-depth.?
I'm buying the Losmandy G11, because I know that eventually I'll get into some astrophotography and that will be my mount for the future!
Andrew
