wow bintel IS cheap (iv heard good things about them), although from what i can see its still a $600 difference (500 without skyscan). I just read in another thread (
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ad.php?t=20347) that you can get an EQ6 with skyscan for under 2000, but im still waiting to find out where from. In spite of the controversy, i still think that if your on a budget the price difference between the two mounts is worth considering when you decide which size dob to get.
