That is almost too tempting, but I fear I will be executed by the authorities if I get one.

However ........

The temptation of a decent 12cm apo OTA at under a grand is somehow sooo much greater than when it was over a grand

It would have to be a one-scope solution for me tho ......

Does that price include the finder, tube rings etc. Steve ?.

[cygnusx1]

Do you do credit

trade-ins?

[Ant]

KIDNEYS?

Who took this thread off topic? Opps it was me :nono:

[FLO]

Sorry, we don't offer credit or accept trade-ins (we plan to accept trade-ins later this year, after we have moved to larger premises).

Ant, we'll only accept kidneys from tee-total non-smokers

[radioactive]

my butcher is a tea total non smoker I get one of his :shock:for you not sure what they cost per pound :D

Steve what's the official weight of the OTA please?

Steve

Assuming this is an across-the-board reduction, many other dealers don't seem to have changed their websites nor have Optical Vision.

Hope your'e not doing this out of the goodness of your heart.

[FLO]

... many other dealers don't seem to have changed their websites...

I'm glad you noticed that

Yes, it is an official reduction announced to all dealers on the 22nd.

[Viking]

Radioactive,

Try this link, it gives a lot of detail including the weight.

This begs a question.

I saw the Equinox version albeit with a fully rotateable focuser but no eyepieces on sale for £1299. It says it uses the same glass as its predecessor.

As you can buy a rotateable focuser for the ED120 if you are unhappy with the Crayford it comes with for less than the difference in price, why buy an Equinox 120?

There must be a good reason, but I can't see it at the moment.

I've amended this because I see Steve does them for 50 quid less, but my point still stands.
