Donate or sell?--that is the question

I have a Sirius 7' dome w/the auto-rotating equip and a Meade 12" LX200 GPS UHTC. The dome is sitting in my barn at my ranch, right where I put it when I first brought it home over 2 yrs ago (it's not perfect, but very close). The LX 200 is sitting in the house, where it has not been used for over a year (used a total of about 6 times).
My wife won't let me put the dome where I want and need to put it ("it will spoil the view, Honey"). The reality is that I am not ever going to be able to use this stuff on a consistent basis. I first thought of selling, but them I got the idea of maybe donating it to a worthy organization (must be 501c qualified). My ranch is in Central Texas close to Waco. Anyone have any suggestions as to who might be a worthy recipient? Please forgive if this is the wrong place to be posting this.

Check local astronomy clubs in your area - donate to the one that holds the most public outreach programs... Or consider donating to a community college astronomy program.

I applaud you for considering to donate your equipment to help open up the wonders of the heavens to those that could not afford to do so themselves.

If you cannot find a suitable recipient then I guess you could sell here on AM... but I think your accountant and the karma police would prefer you donate to a good organizaiton!

Best wishes to you,

I to be in the SAAA (San Antonio Astronomical Association) and found them to be very active and a great club with which to be associated. I'm not sure if they'd have a site, but check with them. Their website: http://www.sanantonioastronomy.org/index.php
