Hi Chris,
I beleive this is the original DSI Pro (now DSI Pro 2) hence the price, although still a bargain.
Apparently DSI 2 has auto dark subtraction and other stuff that goes over my head  :(
Please bear in mind this is only from stuff I've read, I have no practical experience.

Hi Chris,
Welcome back,

2 things, first I got your message and that will be fine for Thursday and i'll phone you later, and just looked at the website and they don't ship Meade items outside of the US of A  :evil:, and I think you'll find most of the companies won't ship to this side of the pond.
