Forgive the rant here, but just need to let off a little steam. I answered an ad on AM for some binoviewers yesterday. The fellow replies the next morning at 6:30 AM saying they're mine if I can pay by 1pm. He sends another email at 9:30 asking me if I'm interested still...then at 9:50 sends another email telling me he sold them to someone else since I didn't reply. At 10 I check my email and see all these messages. Am I mistaken in assuming that it's common courtesy to assume that people don't always check their email every hour (let alone at 6:30 in the morning!).

Rather peeved with that particular seller...
The ad in question by the way is #782196

It is indeed a sweet little scope. I purchased one this past summer. I had bought it just for the mount (I purchased the AZ4 version for $179 at at time when just the AZ4 was selling for $199, so it was like they paid me $20 to take the telescope!). I liked the scope so much I ended up keeping it. I also have a Meade AZ90 and this scope has proven to give better planetary views then the Meade (the Meade only bests it on deep sky, but not by much). It's sharp optics have also made it my prime solar scope (when used with a white light filter). This is essentially the same scope as Orion's F/11 that they sell as a guide scope, so this one's a real steal!
