Another one succumbed to this Irresistible Deal!
With all this discussion, and many positive comments, I could not resist and placed an order with VTI Optics for this scope yesterday (the "WRX" HiOptic ED127).
I'm sure the scope will get here
fast, but I still have to get a mount (either Skywatcher AZEQ6GT or IOptron IEQ45 etc.), so it will be a while untill I get a chance to use it.
In the meantime, I'm finding some eyepieces, so I have them ready to go (so far Vixen LVs 5mm, 6mm, 20mm, and University Optics old (Japan) Konig 2" 25mm, 32mm and 40mm, and a University optics old style (Japan) 2" X2 Barlow). In buying eyepieces, I'm also trying to preempt future telescope purchases that they may be used with, not just the ED127.
Still looking for long (possibly old?) refractors, 4" F15, 5" F15, 6" F10, F12, F15 etc. "Stretched Limo"? , as discussed in:
