There certainly quite a few very desirable scopes and accessories for sale currently but I have far too many scopes etc. than is legally sane to own and must resist the temptations on offer. Not to mention the financial limitations of this time of year.

Besides the lack of money, for me there's other things I need to get/do that stop me getting more scopes, etc. I'd love to try out some different types to get a feel for their strengths and weaknesses.

Being chronically poor and not into imaging, I had to stay away from the FSQs and TOAs so it is the M210 for me to go with my TSA120 & FS60.

I am now banned from buying any more scopes for 12 months

That would be the pristine CN-212 which can be used either as a 212mm F3.9 Newt or as a 212mm f12.4 cassegrain.
