Great responses Everyone. More food for thought.
Ken, that was the deal that I've been looking at, I also don't want to sound like a salesman, but when I saw how cheap the ED80 package was I had to ring up and ask if it was true! that's the cheapest I've found by at least a few hundred dollars.
Alchemy, I'm mainly thinking of a nice, light scope that I can leave setup and have setup out the back in a minute or two. I might only put the dob on the mount once in a while.
On another note, I've been looking at second hand cannon 300d, 350d, and 400ds for a while now. Obviously the "body only" cameras are cheaper than the complete kit. Do I need a lens set, I'm thinking you just get your adapter and use the scope itself as the lens, right?
And finally, does anyone know of any scope/mount packages that come with the EQ6? Would a shop be likely to give you a discount for buying a scope and mount seperately? I would prefer the EQ6 to the HEQ5 as it would make more sense long-term. Ahh choices, choices.
