Could be Davo.. People often state a model name and everyone will know what they are talking about. Best to state type of scope with aperture and focal length/ratio. The Meade model names and numbers are especially confusing for the uninitiated. For ages I thought LX200 was an 8" scope (200mm), LX90 was a little 3.5" (90mm). After all, their ETX's seem to follow that convention. There is definitely a C8 Newtonian, but probably an SCT as well considering C11 and C9.25. Ah forgetit. It's too hard. I'll stick to Dobs: 8" Dob, 10" Dob, 12" Dob, 16" Dob ... plain and simple.
