No need - I've moved it for you and left a link in the original section it was posted in

I have the older version called the starsky, its a fairly nice little frac with a single speed crayford and sliding dewshield, good widefield though i dont tend to use it now

Thanks for moving my post.

I was looking for something that was light but was ok for planets / Moon but also ok for DSO's

I had one a year or so ago , if this is what you mean , here is a photo , these are made by Long Perng out of china , the build quality on mine was top notch , very well made and sexy .Optically it was good but nowhere as good as the Takahashi sky90 I have now after I sold the LP, one more point the LP and sky90 have the same 90mm diameter and f 5.5 ( 500mm fl ) . Great little scope if a little CA does not bother you , very sharp optics but sadly a semi APO only .
