Man those deals are so sweet.. Between Astromart, Ebay and Gecko.. My days are spent wondering oh what can i afford.. Lots of good deals going. Saw a C9.25 go for 900USD with XLT coatings. And C8's are very tempting, but i would also go for a Meade SCT at the right price.. (read cheap).. The rational is that i have almost given up trying to find a mount to hold my 10" Newt i think a platform would be best, so the best i can do is a SVP or EQ5 2nd hand with a 2nd hand OTA. That i can possibly swing the budget for.
Lester, i am in the market for a C8 thinking about adding up the bread crumbs for a C9.25 but alas to far out of reach.. But an older C8 would certainly be tempting. The Dobs geting a bit tiring to move around. I want something simple to setup and go. Let me know if you want to part with it.
Regards
Netwolf.
