2 set ups: visual is an Orion 8" on a home-made Dob mount with balancing weights. Astrophotography is an Orion ED80 on either a Sky View Pro or a Sirius mount, using PHD and ASCOM (for the Sirius) and CdC. Newest purchase is an OPT TPO6" RC.
No, I never did buy one. I decided to modify my old Meade 2120 LX6 for autoguiding and have had some success with it. Still haven't figured out a good way to balance the scope without adding a bunch more weight.
Still, at some point, I'd like to add an RC to my equipment. I might need to go back to work to afford it, though. (-:
