Thanks for that.


I must have missed it. I have been trolling OPT site lately and know the approximate shipping costs. I think we can get a 2% discount from OPT is you are a member of an Astronomy forum.

I'm off to see the OPT site right now.

edit:
I meant to say ..It's a toss up between the run out CGEs & probably a non goto G11. The Gemini goto extra costs are probably straining my budget a little too much.

That said If I get a G11 non goto I suspect I'd really miss goto functions. I was trying to image the Helix nebula the other day and couldn't even see it in my finderscope. Luckily my GTS system is qute accurate and so I took one pic to see if I was on target...yep spot on.

I think I really need the goto function!
