Thanks Matt i'll take your recommendations on board

Have you used tried any of the ES 82's? Any good for fast scopes? You're not wrong there, everything in this hobby cost $$$$$$$$$$$! I love it
And thanks Brain, I have read countless good things about these Synta ED's but just think its a bit 'slow' for what I want. If I try my hand at astro work on my EQ3, I know its limitations, and so I want a light and quick scope
