Maybe even way earlier than that? I think my last ANE I hosted was the 8th one.

You don't say! I couldn't really recognize you really, with that extra muscles you have gained from carrying all that Losmandy mounts?

Nah, got a thing for old mirrors. Got an old orange C90 off eBay previously and another old Celestron OT 8" SCT coming from Japan!

Now just looking for a nice OT 5" to complete the Orange Trio!

That C8 set is a very good price. I would love to get it minus the GP mount. Pity I don't read Japanese plus the shipping to Singapore would have been quite high. :)
