Hi Adrian,

Here is my go;

1 X Pro ED80 from StarOptics (Andrews is $100 more?) for $599
1 X EQ6 Pro Synscan for $1499 from Andrews

Subtotal is $2099 which leaves $400 for a 350D etc.

This way, the extra payload capacity of the EQ6 Pro will allow you to mount your 10" dob tube and use the ED80 as a guide or imaging scope depending on which tube you are using for photography.

Oh, if you want a super cheap guide scope, Andrews second hand/used specials page has a 70mmX900mm NEW Skywatcher OTA for $49!!! would this work AlexN? Then Adrian could use the ED80 as the imager, the 70mm as the guider and leave the dob on its cradle. OR when the Dob is the imager, use the ED80 is the guider and so on.

This works for me? apart from the extra tube bits to mount it all, it sort of works within budget?

I am sure Andrews will match or beat the ED80 Pro Star Optics price, just not sure why Lee has it more expensive to start with.

Anyhoo, thats my idea.

Chris
