Default Quest About Orion Reflector TeleScopes

Greetings to all ...

I hope this is an appropriate post for the group -- and if not please
excuse me ... OK ...


I am considering purchasing an Orion SkyView Pro 6Lt Eq Reflector.
I've read some pretty favorable reviews about it .Just curious if
anyone has had any experience with this one?


Thanks in advance!

I don't know about the scope itself, but the SkyView Pro mount is definitely
first rate, with a very fast damping time. I have the 4 inch f/6 refractor
version and really enjoy it. Clear skies to you.
