I am now thinking of purchasing my first telescope, after using the SLAS 12" Orion reflector, Dobsonian base, for awhile. Of course I want the largest aperture that I can afford and lift in and out of my RAV4. I know the sky well enough that I don't need go-to and am not currently doing astrophotography. So I would happily buy a manual telescope now if the price was right. I see that Chuck sold two this week, but I saw the email too late, so this note is to be proactive and let you know I am looking, in case someone else has a working telescope that is just taking up space. So...about lifting...my back is not great and I am not confident about lifting more than 40 pounds. What do others do? Obsession's telescopes come with wheelbarrow set-ups, but they are pricey, too. If I buy a manual 15" Obsession now and add go-to later, I will have spent over $10K when the go-to, paracorr and all that jazz are added in. What is your advice? My contact info is on the SLAS website if you want to contact me directly. Marlene Egger
