[QUOTE=tonycynic;729290]Looking for something portable and have seen this one on ebay,
Celestron NexStar 4 SE Catadioptric Telescope Kit New

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....=STRK:MEWAX:IT
for $420AU.
Anyone used one of these for imaging?
I know a dob will be better for some stuff but this will be carried on a motorcycle so size is an issue, as is price.
Also anyone bought from these guys before?
Thanks.[/QUOT
Tony, this is almost certainly a gray market product. And no shipping is shown. Try http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...4_0_102mm.html
At B&H New York. They will offer warrantly etc (I bought the 6SE), shipping is around $230 to $350 to Oz. You'd be better getting the 6SE. Neither is good for Astro phatography of more than a minute or so, depending on power of EP. I use mine for piggyback and can do 30 sec or so ok. Moon and planets can do as short exp. But DSO not really on.
