Refractors are my 1st choice...hasn't always been...but when I looked through a decent one many years ago....I wanted one myself.
I started out ' trying ' different sizes as my budget could allow me...some were very expensive and excellent quality....but something was ' missing '.
I would sell and move on to another Refractor....try it...most likely sell it on..and keep searching.....this went on until I bought a S/H Vixen NA140.

I was ' hooked ' on this from the first time I pointed it to the sky..but..I did not really have a decent Mount for it.
The Mount I had was just enough to hold it steady....I wasn't really happy with the ' setup ' ....so after a few months I sold it.

Within a week or so, I regretted letting it go....I missed it that much I was on the phone ordering a brand new one from Japan.....
I put it on the Mount and used it every time I could....even thou' the Mount was not really adequate .....then I waited and waited.....I wanted a T-Rex Mount to go with this beauty....the ' perfect ' combination.

A T-Rex Mount will arrive shortly ready for the Vixen NA140.

I have ' stopped ' searching now ...I have found my ' niche ' in this great hobby and look forward to many nights with my 140mm Refractor.

By the way...I also have 2 x 80mm Refractors ... Orion and William Optics.....they are nice quality Refractors also.

I might be wrong...but I think other people have ' searched ' for ' their ' Scope until they have found it.

.....why I love Refractors....ease of setup....Alt/Az Mount....just point and look , pan around the sky....crisp sharp views.
