Thought someone might be interested in this.  Bit out of my price range at the moment.

That's actually been on the ENS optical website for quite some time now.. I've seriously considered it once or twice but I'd need a truss dob really, just don't have the room.

My 12" OO dob is very like that. They are a lot lighter than the chinese 12" dobs - about as heavy as a Skywatcher 10".

I can get mine in my mid-sized hatchback with one rear seat folded flat for the tube.

Nice scopes

That's good that it fits into a mid size hatchback... my issue is storage at home (2 bed flat), my 200p currently lives under a bed!  Don't thinkI'd get that 12" tube under there.

 *starts googling 'tall beds'*

The tube is not as fat as a chinese 12" dob but you would still need quite tall legs on the bed.

Things that go bump in the night - someone who stores a large dob under their bed !

Or you could buy bunk beds and your 12" OOUK Dob could have somewhere comfy to sleep

That looks like a good scope but its been up for sale for a long time. It's on as buy it now but I wonder if offers would be accepted.

I looked at it, but think it is overpriced for the spec.

there are a couple of Meade Lightbridge 12" truss dobs on there at the moment for a couple of hundred less than that one,
i'm very tempted to get one, but would have to sell some of my other stuff,

Steve (ENS Optical) sometimes sells his stuff slightly cheaper through his own website and I've had a couple of things off him where he has accepted an offer. He is also a very nice guy

" also a very nice guy"

Plus one for that - I know Steve and he is a very pleasant and approachable chap.
