I can't believe how low prices have gotten.
The ST90 for $149 looks like a killer ST scope, but has anyone gotten
a chance to look it over ?

thx

They all look interesting, ~F6 with 2 inch focusers...

But given that the previous 80mm and 90mm scope had plastic focusers so one has
to be cautious.

I've always read, for the most part, nice reviews about the ST 80. Can't say
that about the ST 90s. At least not the Orion version
so I would be a bit on the wary side. Btw, I've got a nice Celestron 80mm
GT. The optics are pretty good, I just have to watch the cords
when it's slewing. ;^)

Best regards,
Bill
