Eric, tell me about the SkyWatcher refractor in one of your first pics, is that a 120? Do you like it?
That's a company that didn't even exist when I was in astronomy, and now everyone seems to love them. I've been ignoring them thinking they were some cheap Vixen knockoff from China, but it appears that they have some high end equipment at a 60-70% price point compared to the big boys.
I'm considering a 102 or 120 from them as a scope that I might want to actually keep, instead of fix and sell. In fact, there is an underpriced 102 on Ebay right now...
I've decided to keep the Orion Sirius EQ-G that I picked up, I've played with it a few nights and it feels really intuitive to run. I was going to keep one of the AVXs that I have (I think I have 4 of them in inventory right now...) but the EQ-G just kinda feels better.
Of course, I might be picking up an old school Super Polaris with the C8 tube on it...or the C8 Powerstar that I have torn apart right now...or the Meade LX-200 7 inch MAK that I have...so many choices...
