Takes me back to my rally car days, it became a case of he who has the most money wins. My boat's only an old banger, but its caught a lot of fish! To me, the enjoyment of astronomy comes from the challenge of cobbling together bits and pieces to create a working equivalent of unattainable (for me) items. They may be ugly, they may be steel, but work, and matt black paint hides so many sins! It's like the Aldi scopes coming up for sale soon. How many kids are going to get such a terrific kick out of their first night's viewing. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, not what they're peeking through!
