I've still got all my gear, just haven't used it in 4-5 years now. I've got an Orion 150mm Mak-Cas and a VersaGo tripod. The tripod is a little light for that tube, but I had started off with a 90mm tube, and just never got a better one when I upgraded to the 150. The downside to the 150 is it takes FOREVER to equalize temp from inside the house.... solid hour, sometimes more around 90 min on a warmer night.
I live out in the sticks, so I've got fairly dark skies, except to the north where there's light wash from Chicago, but the wind farm they put up out behind my place 10-ish years ago makes looking at low horizon stuff a real pain in the azz with all those red blinking lights at night.
Nice setup. As all the Phoenix suburbs expanded, I had to get further and further out. Along with all my hunting grounds, the big city non-stop expansion ruined everything I enjoy, hence my move back home to N AZ.
