The ASA scopes also look interesting. I was surprised, however, to see that the back focus on the 16" model was even smaller than the Orion Optics offering. But, certainly worth considering. Not exactly inexpensive either!

Problem is the internet can be a cesspool of misinformation, with bias for one reason or another to promote various manufacturers.

I quite happily admit my devotion to SBIG, Astro-Physics and Ferrari

I've known Peter Ceravolo for a long time, and know any optic from him will be superb...sure... I can source his optics...but I'd recommend them regardless of who they are obtained from.

Frankly I've been a little nonplussed by the results from Orion scopes... I've long thought the ASA's corrected Newts in skilled hands have produced images with more snap... (also had a Pommy car...one was enough ) suggest you Google images from all of the above and draw your own conclusions.
