I just sold my LX200GPS (10") recently. It never ceases to amaze me how much money we're willing to spend just to make a tiny pinprick of light in the sky a little bigger so it becomes a slightly larger fuzzy BB in the sky. Meanwhile, incredible pix from the Hubble are all over the internet for free.

My next scope is a 12", but I'm going with an Orion XT12 this time. 1/4 of the price, 50% more light, and one guy can set it up with ease. Oh, and no more dragging car batteries around.

I totally agree. We are willing to pay a lot just to see a dot with a bgger magnification. But it's at the same time very cool to see the the things Hubble sees with your own eyes.

Wow, good luck with the telescope!!

Wow this is AWESOME! Keep up the good work! I'm hoping to get a telescope sometime soon.

[EuropeanSpaceAgency1]
