The price seems right, but hiring a jumbo to transport it here could be a little costly

Wow, only $275,000 and he throws in the mount! That's a serious mount.
What a great piece of gear.

Hmm.
$150 bucks for each IIS member and it is ours! Of course we would have to arrange shipping to Lostock....but we have a few folks moving about just need some room in a container.

That would work out at about 3.5 hours per year per member, that is not as bad as it first sounds

OK Ron, take into account cloudy nights, day light and moon driven nights.

I don't think I would get my money's worth from here ! I've checked that site out before and wowed at the scope. Wouldn't it be nice to have that much spare cash lying around for a hobby.
