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..
cheers

Hi
The scope was sold this afternoon.
Thank to those who enquired and those good words given.
It is sad to part with my "faithful"
but need money to find the next bigger one.
