Taxman, no problemo! When I got the Genesis, TV refractors were just in their infancy - around 1990, Astronomy magazine ran pics of the TV "MPT", then came the golden Renaissance, and finally the Genesis. I assume my scope would be worth a small fortune now - I think I paid around $2,500 AUD in the UK for it. Who knew it would become such a classic, and when the day comes - my folks will have trouble prying it
'from my cold dead hands...' hehehe...
Needless to say, I am pretty stoked with the scope, it's really the mount that I am obsessing over now, wrt to upgrading at some stage. The noise of the LXD75 is so damned offensive, and I have also now become rather critical and picky regarding both the hardware & software I would ideally want in a mount.
That one handy contact you have in the States! Fox.
