What wonderful times we live in..

Just look at the following site for value for money. A 12" Dob with 2 "accessories for €628 :shock: A colleague of mine bought the 8" version recently with only a €25 shipping charge.

I'm so tempted to get one for travelling to a dark site.

Thats amazing money for what you're getting,
Although, I'd say the 16" truss version is actually more portable, although substantially more expensive. .

Carrying around my 20" obsession is going to kill me, but what a way to go. :)

Dont forget about the club dob!
All we need is to finish fixing it up and it'd be there for all to use!
