True :-) The only problem is that I live in the Netherlands, Europe. I
would rather browse in more local classifieds. Every year (in May) there
is big astronomy exchange in Essen, Germany. Maybe than I can find
myself a secondhand ST-4. I always need some time to save money, as I'm
still a student (bad excuse, I know).

Thanks,
