The only thing you can't buy used is the apparently killer atmospheric conditions he enjoys wherever he shoots.
- jcims 5y agoTotally agree. I've got the CPC1100 version of the C11 sitting behind me that I bought minus the tripod through an Amazon pallet liquidation. Had to buy the tripod for a total outlay of ~$2k for basically a new scope. I can easily get Tycho in that same field of view, but the contrast is going to suck and relative clarity be pretty laughable. The fun part is there's a lot to learn, the sucky part is there's a lot to learn :)
