Your profile is fairly scant.
And people are a little wary of possible scammers these days.
Thank you for pointing this out for me. Frankly I hesitate to put personal info into my profile. Maybe sometime later.

For the current equipment, I use cheapo second-hand 1/10 102mm Celestron achromatic scope. BTW great advantage of having a cheapo scope is I'm not afraid to experiment with it. Like disassembling doublet lens for cleaning and adjustment. Same would be unimaginable for multi $1000 APO.

I also got a great Nagler eyepiece. I hoped to build a collection, but my budget never allowed me to get more of those beauties. Few weeks ago I resolved to sell all my stuff towards a proper 10-12" Newtonian in pursuit of deep space views.

I also have a few binos, up to 20x80. The moon looks terrific through those.


Regards,
Dmitry.
