Haha well man - you had all week to tell me you got it for 799 so I could get the same deal! I was working off the York discount page (
http://www.yorkoptical.com.au/Shoppi...8/Default.aspx) which gives a 15% discount to IIS members for anything priced from 800 to 1200. Which brought mine to 850. Got charged $80 for the GSO manufactured laser collimator, FYI. I am an obvious newbie so it is easy to sell me all kinds of things; I've only got a rough idea of what's going on yet!
Hope that makes you feel like you got a better deal, man!
Meanwhile I'll just be happy if the skies clear up - I can handle outspending you by $50 if I could just see Saturn and Orion tonight!
Cheers
