You can buy a used one even cheaper! (-:
Got my C-11 Ultima, for $1200, (12" won't show you more) including fork,
unless you insist, to have goto.

ok, so I looked at a meade LX200 12", about US$3500 in the US, about
EUR6200
in europe. With the current dollar/euro rate, EUR6200 = US7800, so the
scope
is in europe more than twice as expensive as in the US. For the difference
(over US$4000) I can easily fly to the US, spend 6 weeks vacation, and fly
back. So what if I fly to the US, buy the scope, fly back? This is way
cheaper than buying it here! any comments?
