Hmm...
The Celestron 8 I traded my old-school f/7 Newtonian for, decades ago, the Newtonian was vastly superior but big and heavy at a time when I had to live rather frugally in student digs;
The 130mm APO I bought during a bought of refractoritis... nice scope for a refractor - but an (excellent) SW 180 Mak duly outshone it in every way possible;
The push-to rig.. Losmandy AZ8, Wild Heerbrugge tripod... encoders and Nexus II; should have bitten the bullet and bought an AZEQ6 from the outset...
Two altaz mounts I bought out of curiosity - looked like an interesting idea - but never used. Didn't have the heart to sucker someone else to recover some of the cost, and trashed them.
After 5 years of buying and selling I've stopped, having reached the best scope I can usefully manage. The SW Mak was good but the MK91 is in a league of its own.
