Hello From the Past

[fatwoul]

Hello all,

Some of you might recognise my username, as I was a regular member between about 2011 and 2016ish.  I'm just stopping by because I'm maybe in the market for a mount for a C9.25, so I thought I'd say hello whilst I was here.

I hope you're all keeping well, and the last 18 months haven't been too difficult for you.

As always, my best wishes to everyone

Robin

Hi Robin, welcome back to the fold.

Hi Robin, welcome back.

Stick the C9.25 on an EQ6. A perfect combination.

Robin, welcome back to the lounge

Hi again.

Thanks everyone, nice to see some familiar names still knocking around.  Mr. Spock - good advice, I should never have sold the NEQ6 I already had.  Honestly, given it would be for visual use only, I could probably get away with something a bit smaller.  I'm older, fatter, and my knees aren't what they were.  Surprisingly, I've heard some positive things about C9.25 on AVX.

Ultimately, given the amount of nights I'd realistically get to use it, I need to be a bit budget conscious.  I've finally grown up and got myself a mortgage (!) so I can no longer pour my wages into an observatory (I sold mine a few years back 😞), but if I found a suitable mount in the 500-700 quid range, I could maybe justify that.

If I don't manage to find anything, you might eventually see a C9.25 pop up in the classifieds!

Thanks again

Hi Robin there is an NEQ6 on Astro b&s

There’s an AVX with blown mother board on Sell/SWAP here, a replacement board kit is around £400, that combo could fit the budget?

Hello and welcome.

Hi again, all.  Thanks for the continued welcomes, and for the pointers to various bits and pieces on here and AB&S.  iapa and Neil H, thank you very much for your help. I think I may have taken too long to venture back to the forum, as both seem to be sale pending.
