ah well, I've just ordered it, the guy there seems spot on, very helpfull.
I got the 8" dobsonian with 9 &25 mm and 6.5&15mm eyepieces for $399
I got a superview GS 68 degree 20mm for $69
an Andrews 2" UW 30mm 80 degree for $149
and An Andrews 2" Barlow for $69.
plus free binoculars
(not that I expect them to be better than my 15x70's)
and to post it across the country it was $60, less than any other site wanted.
so that's $750 altogether. Very looking forward to it arriving; I'll let you know what eyepiece's are like and which get used the most.
