Hi Everyone,

I bought an AZ-EQ6 mount back in July and bought this scope from Ozscopes back in August. Currently its on back order. Initially I was told it would be back in stock in a couple of weeks after this and now in October I get told its February next year. I am currently trying to shop around other astro shops to see if they have it in stock as I'm starting to get in patient but I am also looking at other options.

The other option I could do is buy the BD ED 100 scope and BD ED 80 as a guide scope. With Ozscopes the combined price of these two roughly equal that of the BD ED120. But my aim with the ED120 was to have the bigger aperture and lower f value. My question is would I be majorly missing out on much with the ED100 rather than the ED120 or should I wait until February?

I currently use a CPC 800 but I want to use this more for visual and planetary and use the ED120 purely for astrophotography so I can still do astro work with this scope.

Its a dilemma I have at the moment. Hopefully another shop may have it but I am looking at my other options and would appreciate feedback.

Regards,

Tom
