Bravo, Brent. You speak the absolute truth, from my experience. But good luck breaking-through the slick marketing shovelled-out by the purveyors of these telescopes. I also agree that "Go-To" mounts do a disservice to users, in the long run. BUT- if someone is only going to take out their telescope 3 or 4 times a year, has the money to burn, then buying one of these might make sense. C. --- Brent Watson <brentjwatson@yahoo.com> wrote:
If you are really concerned about image quality, I would shy away from the Schmidt Cassegrain (SCT) telescopes. You'll get a much better image through a Newtonian.
