I know where you are coming from I sold my GSO RC 8" recently, my camera etc hasn't seen the night of day for nearly 2 years.
Imaging took my fancy but I had neither the time nor $$ to compete with the big boys and nearly everything worthwhile has been imaged far better than I could do with my meager equipment.
So now everything is gathering dust the urge might come back, how long does grease last in your mount before seizing.
