All are bits of equipment, assuming 'blonde' is a beer......( Beer can be used as a piece of equipment - if it is used as a tool for filing in time between long exposures

3rd hand information but someone on another forum emailed skywatcher and a rep came back and said "it should be out later this year" which means there is a possibility that it won't be out this year.

So could you ( Andrew?) contact this person on the 'other forum' and find out the name of this rep that he/she contacted. Then contact them and tell them IIS demands an answer........That last comment is good humor/ in jest......
However there are potential buyers here on IIS.....

If you have some association ( ie clout) with SW, let them know I ( cause I cant speak for the majority) am eager to know the progress of EQ8......

While you are waiting for the EQ8 maybe you could wait for this mount as well. The mount is covered about two minutes into the vid. Looks like a good original design.

If the TDM is as good as they say it is, then it's worth every penny you'd spend on it.
