Brendon , I have a nice 70mm f11 refractor with mounting clam shell with Vixen style dovetail , red dot finder and 1 1/4 inch diagonal , I will send it to you for the cost of postage if you want , that way you can grab a GSO alt/az mount from Andrews for $279 and be away and you should be able to scrape up the extra $79, what do you think ?
Send me your post code via PM so I can get a price .
Its not a bad refractor OTA that performs well and your 130mm heritage eyepieces will work well in this being 900mm fl and will give higher magnifications with any given eyepiece than the 130mm reflector .
Brian.

I'm super happy with the heritage. It's been a great scope to start learning with, but wanted to try a refractor before choosing an upgrade path. I'm always looking second hand so I guess I'll see what comes up.
Thanks for your insight.
