Wah this really a good deal since the mount and tripod is included. I had a chance to use this scope during one of the Tuas observing sessions and the built-in slow motion controls are a joy to use. So many C8s for sale now! :) I wish I had so many choices when I first joined the hobby. I paid an obscene amount for my first scope :) :bangwall:

Arief, my 12.5 shld be 'delivered' later this year. Can't wait.. :D
cheers
