Thanks Jacquie! Yep, four actually if you include a guide scope!

For the sake of listing it out:

Skywatcher ED80 pro
Skywatcher BD 8 inch Newtonian
ProStar 90mm short tube guidescope

And selling (on this site) a Skywatcher 5 inch BD Mak. I really really like that scope... but just can't justify having three "good" scopes as a beginner - I ended up with this many because the Mak came with the mount, then I found the Newtonian on special a couple of months later and I had to have it as I got apature fever straight away. After realising that the Mak wasn't going to serve as the best imaging scope, I thought about using the Newt, but that coupled with a guidescope and all accessories wasn't going to be too friendly on my HEQ5 pro, so I decided to replace the Mak with the ED80 and couple that with a guide scope -the two of them together weigh less than the newt by itself!
