Do you know how many t-rings, off-axis guiders, illuminated reticle eyepieces, Kodak Tri-X film and Nikon F-bodies with manual triggers you could have bought for that kinda money?
A lot. A lot of them. And you'd be imaging like a MAN. A Hairy chested MAN. Sitting out there in the cold, hunched over, eyes filled with tears, guiding like a MAN. Waiting two weeks for Fox Camera to tell you that none of your pictures are any good, just fuzzy blobs and dust specks, so they didn't process any of it. MANLY imaging.
Freaking red crap. Astronomy accessories should be black and steel and be hard to use.
