Celestron 6" Starhopper is $299.00 cdn, 8" Celestron Starhopper is $395.00 cdn. If you want to take serious images, totally different ball game, the price just jumps drastically, I recommend starting out with an excellent scope the Meade LX90 GPS, they are $2,000, but then you need a camera and laptop, or a good DSLR, not a cheap hobby to say the least. Peter Ive have gone through many a scope from all different manufactures the ones I have mentioned have worked for me, you should read my post as well.<BR/><BR/>http://blackholesandastrostuff.blogspot.com/2007/07/buying-telescope.html<BR/><BR/>There are a lot of pitfalls, no short answer, if you have any further questions you can always email me.

We finally got really cold weather for two days, and now they are calling for warming - no idea what is going on, lol. Again, the sun set is just beautiful.
