Astroshop.eu have it at just over 4000e delivered.. A bit pricey if you ask me.. I reckon the 14" and a PST for the same price would be my decision...

It has been an absolute pleasure
being P.R.O of the club and it's with
deep regret that I do step down for the
foreseeable future..
I really hope that somewhere down the line
I can contribute more to the club..

Thank you all.

Cheers Tom...

It's as good as gone, I have a guy
from Crecora calling this weekend
who really wants it... Fingers Crossed :P

I think it's a bargain as-well, but I'm really looking
forward to upgrading to the 12" Dob.

Cheers Roy :D :D

Nice catch Frank..
Was so happy that I caught
it at all that I forgot to set up
the camera to the scope, instead
I let Michael Johnson use it, (Go Figure).
