Huh. Price is similar to those Orion Starblasts I was considering, and you get a GEM mount. Interesting...

I, er, generally have only had access to scopes in the 60 mm range. So my binoculars get a lot more use. >_>

I wouldn\'t expect it to fit in the FOV of most scopes. How does your Meade do with the Double Cluster, Pleiades, and Hyades, then?

It was purchased at Costco... for considerably less...

:cheers:

We got lucky with a special offer in the Costco catalog, and my dad decided we could get a telescope.

Eh, you win some; you lose some.

Try not to exceed 200 to 300x magnification. The results with <8-10\'\' mirrors are less than exciting.

I have a 130mm reflector from Mead that I got from the Discovery Store in 96. It is alright, but was not built very well. The tracking gears are shot and some parts have fallen off. Definitely time for an upgrade so I\'m happy I found this thread.
