Wow! I can't imagine. You know I'm slumming it a bit with my 36-year-old C8 (I can see its failings when doing very DSO imaging), but I paid all of $400 for it along with accessories. I'm currently gunning for a bargain-priced reflector to pair with it though for a good midrange imager (I love the look of images with diffraction spikes to boot). I've been contemplating whether it'd be better to try to find a used but newer SCT, a really nice APO refractor, or a better camera to pair with whatever I'm using, an actual astro camera, perhaps an APS-C sensor one from ZWO. My gut says that glass is a better investment. Actually, currently my bank account says none of them...
