Thanks Ken,

Can you elaborate with respect to the focused not being as robust please

I didn't have any major complaints/ issues - always check the collimation and the tightness of the corrector retaining screws!

The only "area of concern" was the focusing mechanism....definitely not as robust as the Celestron but with practise can be mastered.

I'd probably still be using Meade were it not for the lack of rear access space (in the forks) for the larger spectroscopes...this lead to changing to a C9.25 and later a C11 on an NEQ6pro mount.
