That one or her equatorially mounted sister would make a great first

Rod,

That scope looks like it was made for little people. I know you can
probably build a platform to get it up off the ground, but still may
be more trouble than it's worth.

I read somewhere that you actually tried this scope out. How was the
height? Was it on a table when you used it?
