I guess i forgot to say that.
The first thing i purchased was (in my eyes at the time) a massive 10" dobsonian. I knew i wanted to take photos so i pimpped my soul out got into hock so to speak and got myself the EQ6pro straight up. I had to go to bunnings and buy some lumps of wood and threaded rod to make my first set of rings to attach it to the mount!
I then had the oppertunity to borrow a 40D and that stayed with me till the start of this year when I once again pimpped my soul out and got the Qhy9 mono
Im a uni student that works only a few days a week so money isn't flowing around me like a river and most weeks its food or fuel to get to uni but I don't mind as it is only for a finite time!
So yes I echo bert and lightning!
