Hi Raymo

I would have thought so too, but the opportunities just aren't coming available.

Looks like everyone is happy to sit on their current and potentially excess gear.

So far I will spend about the following:

LXD55 $210-215 (including postage)
Orion Guide Scope $80 (Including postage)
ED80 $300 - $400 (estimate only)
or ED100 $550 - $650 (estimate only)

I am not in a rush for the Orion SSAG as I have a Philips SPC900N I can modify if needed.

So if I get an ED80+LXD55+Guidescope, that will equal just under $600.00. This will leave me some money to put in the bank, approx $1000. Start saving for the next year or two (probably 3!) for something I really want.

Starting over again has turned out to be a bit of a buggar!

But at least this may scratch an itch!

Cheers

Gav
