IF you want massive aperture and bad debt, I think I saw a 28" scope for sale in Ireland somewhere, I cant remember the site though.
Dave i was gonna ask if you were selling but yours is only 20".
How much was the 28" on sale for????????????????
I'm gonna hazard a guess of €20,000-€24,000

I'll answer any Qs you might have if you wish to make one of your own, but given the finicky nature of lead acid batteries and the chance of electrocution, hydrogen explosion, acid burns and a fire if it somehow goes drastically wrong :lol: :lol: , I wont be making or selling any of these, but will help out anyone near by (keeping you in mind John, if you're serious on building one).

From a technical point of view, it is a fairly simple thing to put together but there is quite abit of physical work in it Keith, alot of drilling/soldering and kicking it when it annoys me.How much to build me a mobile powerstation like yours Dave
