What are you saving for?

Saving for RST-135 ( http://www.rainbowastro.com/new/theme/basic/content/product-135.php?ckattempt=1 ) which looks to be a high-end SW AZ GTi style mount - slightly heavier though + it's more versatile.

All the bits to create an obs. Will have pretty much everything bar the metal cladding for this weekend and will make a start!

My list seems to be growing rapidly!

Astronomik 0III Filter, Baader Neodymium Filter, SW RACI 9x50 Finder, TV Delite 3mm or TV 3-6mm Zoom..... 😮

I need to edit my post, I have had a rush of blood to the head and ordered a Televue 3-6mm Zoom and an Astronomik 0III filter from FLO. Should arrive in a couple of weeks going by past purchases.

A 16x70 APM Magnesium apo if I can sort out doubts about its real weight. APM's site says 2124g, Teleskop Service's page says 1926g, and my 16 years-old Fujinon weighs 2100g with strap and caps on, the real mass that hangs at my neck. A magnesium alloy bino should be less massive than the old Fuji because of density and the need to compete so 1926g should be the real figure, hopefully.

Paracorr to replace my MPCC MkIII on the 200PDS, since that's probably causing a few issues in my imaging (lopsided field and some astigmatism).

Then it's saving for the obsy, in theory. To add to the chaos, though, my PC's getting a bit tired, so that'll take precedence - this one's had a good run though, since 2012!

Fortunately I think I have most of the astro kit I need which is just as well as I've just ordered a £400 pair of glasses!

ASI1600, Filter Wheel & some gear to hopefully automate the dome. Also the remaining parts for my CNC router.

I should be saving for a house, car repairs, retirement, financial freedom and all that boring stuff - but FLO sell shiny things!

On the plus side my new PC is built so thats one big project / expense out the way for a few years.
