The price has come down a lot, I'm guessing because they have a newer model
out, the 130GPS priced around $500 or less. It will save you a lot of time aligning your scope. But, you really can't beat the price of the 114GT now. Less than $200! That's a steal!

On Tue, 16 Sep 2003 02:00:42 GMT in , "MrB" graced the world with this thought: Although I haven't had a chance to use it yet because I won't have it until Wednesday, I bought it for 160 US dollars. Costco had a special of $199 and a $40 coupon. I checked out the site cited below and I guess this was a pretty good deal. This is a 114GT Celestron. yeah, right. Just to confirm: Costco had a special coupon for the 114GT Celestron the last week of August for only $159. That's the complete standard 114GT including the GoTo mount and tripod, two eyepieces, red-eye finder scope and optical tube assembly. Really quite a deal. Greg |

Thanks Greg for the confirmation. I felt the stabbing sarcasm of the "yeah,
right" comment. I have the scope now and am learning to use it.
