How could you do it Mark. Sell a G11



Oh, your getting a Titan. That is understandable then. Hard decision though, you are a stronger man than me.

Good old Tabulam

Good old Tabulam. What a great place for astronomy. About 14 years into the science with three mounts owned; 1 x G-8 then 2 x G-11's. I was originally from Casino. Gear owned so far; 1 x Lichtenknecker Flat Field Camera 8" f/4.0. 1x FS-102 & 2 x FSQ-106N's. Stuck in Brisbane at present and the night sky is not like Tabulam.

Thanks for intro,
Best wishes, Mark
(I've got my wife chasing me enough at the moment)

Ah, Mark, so you're the one.

Leon's been grinning from ear to ear ever since he laid eyes on the add.
Houghy's already gone into hiding from the Mrs (or should I say he's gonna cop a hiding from the Mrs).
