Unfortunately, I only have 4 1.7m dry boxes and I can't put everything in (I still have camera stuff). So naturally I have to prioritise.... Questar first, then Vixen, then WO, etc.Airconvent wrote:Tachyon, a pity you did not keep your stuff in dry boxes but $500 is a bargain for a Nexstar 8 as long as you know how to disassemble and clean the optics.

Can't help buy gasp when you see how the previous owner can afford to let a Questar 90mm $7000 Maksotov scope rot away like this. Cost of repair according to Remus : US$2000 to replace the Lens cell...
