or Shall I buy a Celestron 6 inch C6RGT for $1094 (includes a GOTO mount). 9.24 Celestron is withing range. Save for it. You won't regret it. Buy anything but the Meade. Capt RB |

A 10" F6 Dobson with (or without) DSCs, an EQ Platform, a 24mm Panoptic, and
a handful of Orthos. Orion's 10 with the computer...yup, a low cost alternative to the SCT. RB |

I'm looking at the two sub $1K refractors by Meade and Celestron. I already
have a Meade LX200 (I was an early adopter) and am looking for a reasonably priced refractor. I'm primarily concerned with the quality of the mount and the optics. Any feedback would be appreciated. Rick |

Any feedback would be appreciated. Rick Try to steer clear of the Meade LXD55 series, as the mount is _not_ up to the task. The Celestron version of the refractor is better, provided that you don't expect too much when you put one of those big 6" refractors on the dressed up CG-5. Either way, you will be disappointed if you expect LX200 like performance from either one of these scopes. Al |
