Hey Damion , the ED120 is all you will need to buy for many years . PM the seller.
If my 127mm Istar was not such a great performer , that 120 would be mine .

And thanks Brian,

120mm ED might be stretching the budget and I haven't found a price for the OTA by itself but I am guessing around the $1800 mark. I think the Skywatcher ones are about $2200 so a $400 saving for a similar beastie sounds good.

I have also been thinking about the 8" GSO RC astrographs, a few short reviews I have read suggest they are quite reasonable for the money at around $800.

cheers
