Excellent. I think my wife will be happy with this. Im getting a refurbished one sent over from the us delivered with hardcase for 400AU.

Im just thinking that later on I will probably upgrade this to larger aperture ( a few years) and by then the 105 or 125etx (with no AT) should be significantly cheaper. I have read about some other scope (90, 105, 125 withough AT) and that you can attach an autostar to them...how do you do that? do you need a special mount with motors in them? or can I just plug the autostar in?

Just wondering for the future thats all.

The dob should be arriving this week.
Ill let everyone know how it goes.
Thanks
