That scope is nearly 2000 euros dearer then what I payed for mine, and all that this one has over mine are some ramps and a desert storm cover, not exactly a bargain.

Carrying around my 20" obsession is going to kill me,
but what a way to go. :)

I remember seen one that Phil Lardner built back in the 2000 WSP, a fabulously piece of equipment. I said that day that I'll get one when the time was right and when a good priced one showed up.
You did say you weren't going to buy it, and I told you I was , so....... :lol:
When it comes to astro equipment, I don't hang around.

Cheers Kieran. However, what I didn't say is that I had no money.


Do you have VHI? That could cover the cost of treatment :lol:

WOW, that's an enormous scope, you'd need a rigid back truck to carry it around.
All jokes aside, if you lived in a dark site, this scope would be feasible, just wheel it out of a garage and observe away, and add about 10 years to the mortgage of the house.
