Sold off all my gear and replaced it with the following... hopefully no regrets!
- William Optics GT-81 with DDG focuser and flattener
- Atik 414ex (love my 314, but I couldn't resist!)
- Saxon ED100 APO (couldn't afford a brand new 120 and the 414)
- CCDT67 focal reducer
- Nautilus 7x1.25" filter wheel
- Prostar 50x180mm mini guide scope
Pretty sure I'll go with the AZ-EQ5 at this stage, still haven't 100% ruled out the EQ6 though.
Going to have to buy a new focuser for the Saxon when I have money again, and then OIII + SII filters, to go with my H-alpha which I've yet to get a chance to use. Gonna be broke forever!
So now that all of this is on order and no mount to put anything on, the skies have cleared up and the BOM is forecasting nothing but clear skies for the foreseeable future. Go figure.
