   Be mindful of the weight etc..mines nice and all but it's an absolute pain in the ass transporting it around. I'm thinking of getting a Celestron 8SE for when I'm "going places" with it...you can pick those up relatively cheap used and they still have a lot of the features of the more expensive one.
   
   Last weekend when I took mine out to Columbus it was 90F and seriously a pain in the ass to handle, the scope and base in it's JMI case is about 80lbs...(the dumb case is like 30lb on it's own). Really my Evolution is more for using at home than dragging around.

   You can get them cheaper than that too, I've seen them go for $800.

   This is more of a camera than a telescope...and I am lacking good astrophotoraphy equipment (which is a bottomless money pit). It's a cheap way into astrophotoraphy and extremely portable too.

    You'd be wrong to assume that...there are about 500 stars within 50 light years from us....unless you consider 50yrs a "very long time ago".
