Citivolus,
Thanks, interesting figures, whats the +10% for ? May have found a way going via acquaintance/friend in the US. Still working on it if I should go ahead.

Thanks for the advice. What is the C9.25 like optically? Liked the idea of the GOto with autoguiding port and objects easy to locate for imaging. But may only go for the TAO and update my EQ6, which may leave me some funds for a Canon DSLR.
Have my EQ6 head (no GOTO) also pier mounted with a 250mm F6 Newt on top. 100% improvement in stability. But seeing I have to constantly carry the 15kg tube around 20m, including up steps, out of the garage when I want to do some observing or imaging I was looking for something smaller in seize and weight in my prize range so I can continue enjoying my hobby. Getting just to old to carry heavy
weights around.
Have an old 80mm Unitron Spotting scope, good quality achromate, which I am at the moment converting to a guide scope.
