If it is going to be the last telescope you ever buy I think this would also have to 'factor' in the 'one scope that can do it all' dimension. In this contest I think there is only one true contender
Televue NP-127is
Sitting on top of a good mount
Tak's are great but they do seem to come up for sale a lot more than Tv scopes. I don't think I have ever seen a NP-127 ever come up for sale here on IIS and if it does (or anyone has one they want to sell) please let me know
