That's a good looking guy on that ad :) yup it's me as much as I like this scope and had some truly awesome nights my heart lies with AP and I'm 5ft 6 and is a pain in the back side to get into the garden on

my own I would like nice 10" or 12" at some point as I know I can manage them

theres always room for a dob :laugh: the only problem is he will pull it if he doesnt get a decent price [why not just put a reserve on it?

eBay wanted £30 for a reserve or 60p without so I'd rather lose 60p then £30 cheeky gets eBay as well as 10%non the final price!

Keep the 16".

I parted with mine a year or two ago, I have regretted it ever since.

Bad weather always gets the brain doing circles...what if i sell this or buy this etc. :smiley:

I have two new scopes which have only been out once each in the last two months

Same here

Once to look at some backlit clouds on 6th June. The second was more productive where I managed to perform my first fairly accurate polar alignment. Then the clouds came back :sad: Srsly though the weather is starting to really get on my pecs

Also, (imho of course) keep that beautiful lightbridge. Could you actually bear to see it go for less than a grand?

Keep it Dan, unless you want to do a straight swap with my 10" LB .....lol

to be honest I've kept all my scopes - even though some have not been out for years - you never know, you're little ones may become interested and could make use of it.

I’ve taken some of mine to my kids school and they were thrilled and I didn’t have a heart attack when there were little fingers everywhere.
