[QUOTE="RandyDSok, post: 170216, member: 201"] I dabble a bit every now and then... although I was seriously into it many years back. Currently I'm just I'm just using a Meade Polaris 130 ( 5" ) which is good for the amount I get out and view anything with it. I've got a 16" Meade as well but the stand got completely rusted tight and the mirror is in need a a re-mirror job, so it just sits in the back room for the time being. I've also got a 6" Cassegrain that the drive clutch got loose and I've not been able to fix properly. The computer controlled scopes where just coming out as my budget dropped to a point that I couldn't afford to get one, then the prices just sky rocketed after that... so I don't see getting one anytime soon.
