Hi All
I got a email from Astro Optics in Sydney the other day.They are having a 25% off sale on all vixen gear.
I see a GP-D2 (same as 'older' GPDX,but just painted white),for $1149
was thinking about getting one,as the machining on the componets is of an extremerly high standard,and it has a payload of around 10 kg.
Problem is i will then need to buy a goto system and motors,What options are there?
The vixen star books are not the best,There is the Ioptron 'Eclipse goto star" its about $800.Some German thing called boxtopher,i think this might be very expensive,I also heard mention of a Celestron kit,but not sure.
Anyone using the above,let me know how it works for you.
Thank you
