For me, any scope I select has to be transportable on my rollator walker. That limits me to the smaller, more travel friendly scopes.
This lot would readily compliment my existing main scope and eyepieces.
Sky-Watcher 127mm Maksutov-Cassegrain and AZ-GTi mount and tripod set. $1200
I can use either the 127mm Mak-Cass, or my 130mm Newt on the AZ-GTi.
Sky-Watcher 90mm Maksutov-Cassegrain and Virtuoso tabletop Dobsonian mount set, and SynScan hand controller. $500
I can use either the 90mm Mak-Cass, or my 130mm Newt on the Virtuoso mount. The SynScan hand controller makes the Virtuoso mount full GOTO.
Saxon Cielo HD eyepieces 18mm, 9mm, and 4.5mm. $110 each
These three fill in blanks in my existing collection of eyepieces. The 2.3mm Cielo is too powerful for the OTAs however, so it's not on this list.
Celestron X-Cel LX 1.25 inch 2X and 3X Barlows. $220 each
A better quality 1.25 inch 2X Barlow than what I currently have, and a 3X Barlow as well.
All told, that lot comes in at about $2600
