My "need" for on cooled, along with my RetiredBum portfolio...
Now that we are back at the Mtn House at 5,000 ft, with crystal
clear skies and minimal night sky light pollution, I wish I had one.

Yeah...I'm ready for the Summer sky if not short a few bucks.
If you want I'll give you an old 4.5" Newtonian reflector telescope. I'll pack it up and find the cheapest shipping to your Mountain retreat. It's nothing fancy (really) but it works. I'll need to dig around for the extras but it does have what you need to get started. The mount is attached but you will need to construct 3 wood legs...Easy to make with a few tools if you're handy. I used a nice camera tripod to mount the scope and tossed the wood legs that came with the scope. I'm now using that tripod for photography.
PM me if you're interested.
