Hi Tony I just checked the specs of both on the respective websites the total weight of Celestron CPC 800 (scope plus tripod) is 42lb whereas the total weight of the Meade Lx 90 is 52lb (33 for the scope and 19 for the tripod.)
Hope that makes sense. I got told tht the CPC uses plastic whereas the Meade is still using the metal.
I was just wondering if the extra 1000 or so for the edge hd is worth it over the normal CPC 800 and whether the uhtc on the 800 is just as good visiually as the acf on the Meade? Sorry to be a pest. Just wanna make the right decision seeing its my life savings !
Regards
Steve.
Ps...hey you wanna sell your 8" CPC??
