Yes, you have some nice kit to get through, that's for sure

True although you buy'em in GBP which is also closing in on 70c - the Aussie $ is strong so good times for buying foreign products in general

Are you still mounting everything on the NJP or did you upgrade to a EM 400 Mike?

Still on the NJP, no problemo, unflappable mount that perfect tracking and guiding all night everynight

At 6,000 pounds for the OTA, I may have to wait a while before purchase, but it does look like a beastly imager.

Yes not a trivial investment but with the Aussie dollar so strong the delivery price, including GST and freight, remains under AU$10K for the basic OTA, that is very competitive against other high end OTA's of this size.
