Scope> $1750 delivered
Focuser> $450 delivered
Robo focus Motor and Coupling> $270 delivered
Tak TSA35 flattener and extender> $500 delivered

Total Cost $2970 compared to $10,000 + for a 10 inch RC from USA.
Not to bad for my limited skills and it gives me some focal length to compliment the FSQ for galaxies etc.
Yep great economics and a fantastic versitlie setup Doug...now you just need to produce the goods ...Oooo pressures on
