Hi Rod,
Sorry I missed your post. Been out fly fishing at Jindabyne. No fish though, still too warm, and the trout are staying down deep.
I want to get into more of a pure astrophotography setup. The Meade is brilliant for visual, being F/10, and having the Goto function is so handy, especially coming in as a novice, as I did.
Also, as I get older, the weight is heavier than it was a year ago. I'm just glad I didn't go for the 12-inch, as I was going to.
But as with the Mary Rose in your case, the old has to go, to make way for the new.
I estimate that there is about $12-13k of stuff here, if someone was to buy it all new. Easily into 5-figures, anyway.
