We did talk a lot about the reason for the sale...basically, it did not match his viewing style. He had jumped up to this scope after having more modest and portable gear and thought he would enjoy going "deep".
However, the scope did not fit his "grab and go" interest very well. It was used sparingly but kept in superb condition...It was only used in his driveway and has never seen truly dark skies. He felt that he would be better served with a different scope. I agree!
I only hope that the clouds clear soon...so far this weekend does not look good either.
