Vick Bennison ...decvax!decwrl!rhea!tools!bennison (603) 881-2156 ---- Just thought you might consider two more factors: 1) the super-polaris mount DOES NOT COME WITH MOTORS! the motors come with the computer unit. this puts you WELL above $500! also, the stepper motors in the mount are more appropriate for visual observing than photography. 2) I have a 8" S-C and a 4" S-C, the larger for home and smaller for trips. In retrospect, I think a single 6" S-C would be more convenient and thus get more use. N.R.Fildes (neal) AT&T Bell Laboratories Whippany Rd. Whippany, NJ 07981 U.S.A. (201) 386-6493 whuxlf!nrf
