What telescope do you most regret selling?

[rory]

good thread. worth reading as a pointer to which scope to buy or if you have one ,dont sell.

[Ags]

It seems people tend to regret letting small scopes go.

[hunterknox]

If I'm being sentimental, Tal 100RS.

If I'm being honest, C100ED (so much so that I had to buy another 100ED)

I have never sold a scope so dont regret any. The one i regret buying is my Celestron 90EQ.

I love the scope but hate the EQ mount.

My very first scope was a little 2.5 inch reflector. ( I think ) Actually, I was so young, I really didn't know what I had, but I DO remember seeing the rings of Saturn for the very first time, so it must have been a pretty decent little scope. I didn't sell it to someone, but somehow it slipped out of my hands, as so many toys of our youth! I remember, and long fondly for that scope more than any other scope that I have owned since that time!

I'm in the same boat, except i know exactly where mine is, i just can't get to it

I'm soon going to regret selling my 250PX & Explorer 200P / EQ6 Synscan

[Sponcom]

All of them.

regret my ed80 because I had no time to do photography.

I regret selling my Meade 10" sct because it was so good on the planets and m101.

I regret my Schmidt newt because it was a brilliant scope and with sensible mods the best all rounder reasonable money.

However, due to work commitments and other things such as children, I have had 3 12" dobsonians and they let me observe pretty much anything quickly.

I miss my Meade the most at the moment but if I didn't have a dob to drag out I'd miss that

my first..Celestron 6se, so handy to use anywhere and did give some great views

[Ludd]

Oh, my Helios 4" f5 startravel scope (although the mount was hopeless) and perhaps also the Prinz 660 (a 3" f16 refractor in a huge wooden case). Oh, and the Tal2M with electric focusser and modernised power supply bits.
