Here is my Celestron Nexstar 9.25 GPS scope. As you can see it is on a equatorial wedge I bought second hand from a friend. It already had all the upgrades, and it works great. I use the Celestron Off Axis Radial guider, and Meade illuminated reticle eyepiece to guide a Canon Digital Rebel DSLR body. I also sometimes use the Rebel piggyback. I also had an issue with the Telrad double sided tape, and turned to Velcro brand straps. Holds pretty tight, only minor adjustments are needed when I hit my first alignment star.

I am a 21 year old college student. It is a difficult hobby because of its high cost.

I agree. While I no longer own my casesandcovers case, it was definately well constructed and designed. I went with a solid case by no fault of the softcase. I just needed better security that no fabric could do. It held it value very well with good care.

Thanks so much guys! It's so hard to decide whether or not to get rid of it. I'm thinking about sending it up to my parents house in the Tehachapi mountains and just getting another scope for home. I wonder what my wife would think about that.

I agree. Its my yellow pages of astronomy. They deserve to be out int he open.
