Thanks for looking Charl. I've always liked the Optica...but like you "tadpole" was what I've always thought as well.

Yep, its pretty amazing . NZCH is really well done, and your place as well. Annoying when I get the low band width msg.

I never really warmed to the Optica. I think it's a case of "If it doesn't look right...........". A great observation platform though.
