I am considering taking the plunge with an Obsession or SDM truss dobsonian.
That being the case, my beloved 10 inch LX200, which has given me the most amazing tour of the universe, might be needing a new home soon. If you are interested in acquiring said scope, read on:

Timeframe
Happy to look at sale later in year, or earlier at the right price! In no great hurry.
Let me know if you are interested. Happy to give you a night out with my baby if you would like to "try before you buy".
