I've got a 6" reflector, which I have fun with. I know just enough to get myself in trouble.
My friend is eyeing a scope too.
This looks like a pretty sweet setup.

Pretty big for a refractor. I've got aperture-envy.
Your opinions?

My thoughts:
- The description can't decide if it's a 102mm or a 120mm.
- You never know if the mount is sturdy. A place scopes often cheap-out.
- No idea how to assess the motor. Easy to install?
