Re: Powerseaker 127 eq
Just FYI, the display price on the science centre shop website excludes GST, so you'll need to factor that in. Still, it's cheaper than what I paid for when I bought my PS127 5 years ago...the prices seem to have fallen after they shifted to their new place.

Re: Powerseaker 127 eq
Probably not anytime soon. I'm planning to use it as my lightweight setup. I *might* sell off/give away the tripod/mount, though.

Re: Powerseaker 127 eq
If you're interested, I have this old video showing my photo collections taken with this scope here:
