Well that cuts out one possibility Brett. Thanks for that.
Glen, I got the 5 in the first place because it suited my needs size wise
then, and still does. The last thing I need is a larger scope; it is fairly
hard work mounting my 8" with it's electric focuser, and my D.I.Y.
tube rotating device, and sometimes with my 80mm on it as well.
I have to set up every time, and can just carry my 5 with the weights attached; can't do that with a 6. Many people happily use a 5 for years, I just seem to have got a lemon. Maybe the vendor knew it was faulty, and
that's why he got rid of it. The perils of buying used electronics.
