I would like to conclude this thread with the following confession: in the past years I owned several pieces of astro equipment. I still vividly remember excitement of unpacking and using my first telescope. It was Saxon - a 6" f/8 Newtonian on non-motorised EQ3. Had many many memorable nights of stargazing with it from our balcony in Rockdale in Sydney, and also dipped my feet into astrophotography with this telescope. I had a few more telescopes since, but looking through and using the CFF 105 revived that special astro-thrill I had with my first telescope back in the days.
