Weight: 130 lb.

Wow. That's heavy. If I'm not wrong that is about 60 kg?

fren...
firstly, Remus is a Takahashi diehard...right ?? His Taks would haunt him if he ever gets a Celestron scope. (the non classic ones anyway)

Furthermore, his images are already very good. There is little these scopes can do for him as far as achievement is concerned...in this sky, the scope may have been an overkill.

The scope seems to be meant for people who burn money in winter to keep warm or for observatories?

ps. btw, vince snr, if you are buying, remember to tell us when you will sell it. I'm sure there would be a queue ....heh heh
