Hi Capt,
Am I missing something here... what's the big deal about Meade scopes? I was thinking of purchasing an ETX125. For me and others like me, please explain why we should stay away from Meade. Many thanks Rich "Bobsprit" wrote in message ... I'm seriously considering buying my first telescope and was wondering if i could get any pointers? You'll be apt to be less dissapointed with a scope of reasonable quality and size. Start looking for a 6 inch scope or larger and consider it's size & weight carefully. Orion and Celestron are two companies that are building good scopes at modest prices. Stay away from Meade, E-bay listed brands from China and department store tascos and the like. Starlord will post a buyers faq for you. Capt RB |
