Is 138 Euros too expensive? If not, have a look at this:

Or http://makeashorterlink.com/?V49F2131C if that one wraps badly for
you.

No nothing, did you take out the 'not this' bit ?.
Great see you there,
Alan sent this;

Dovetail plate to my specification from Astroparts (Brian Brooks). He gets
it hard black anodised as part of the price. Total was £20 + shipping. I had
an extra long one 300mm long

Thanks for those bits Robert, would you like a laser collimator in exchange
?
The "Barlow thing" is a Magni Max, and gives X1.6, I didn't see it until I
got home so I was using it with the 10mm on Mars and didn't know ;-0, not
knowing I then whacked it in my Barlow (so giving X490) and was amazed at
the quality of the image, thinking "Whoa, this good for a 10mm". The 25mm
gives a slightly wider field than mine so that's one for my box. The filters
will go inside my top tube below the focuser where I can get at them without
disturbing focus :-)
The finder will be fitted by tonight, much better than the 50mm bino
objective pushed into a cut down tasco refractor that I'm using at present.

I should be alright John, i think ive got collimation sussed with a
cheshire now! I also won myself a TV 32mm ploss on ebay last for the
bargain price of £50 If that one is any good i will get a 26 and a
much shorter one too!

See you soon(probably deal on friday eve if the weather is ok)
