Out of interest - where is the point of balance of the OTA? Is it right in the middle of the dovetail where you have it - or alot further forward due to the heavy lens?

Good luck with the sale, lovely scope!

The balance point is pretty well in the middle of the tube as shown which gives quite a lot of latitude particularly when fitting some of the newer monster eyepieces. I wouldn't say that the objective lens is all that heavy, now, my Tak TOA-130s's objective is heavy!!! the balance point is near the back of the lens cell (well, not quite but.. ).

I meant to mention that the scope is about $500 less than the current price from Astro Optical (I think) which puts it close to the bargain class.

If I were hunting for an acro - its what I get - and your right - at that price its a bargin!
