Lp90
I have used my LP90 for 4 years and find no problems with it for imaging as a doublet. Visually it is good and crisp (except for expected CA obviously), I know its not a TAK but I didn't pay for that. The build quality is great and although it is 51 glass good results can still be obtained. I also use the Orion ED80T CF for imaging so I have the best of both worlds. I'm just wondering if the comments relating to bad optics relate to a drop in quality in recent years due to mass production of this short style instrument being pumped out and maybe mine was built to a better standard due to its age. As I say I wouldn't write these off, see if you can try one and make up your own mind. I love mine and even prefer some aspects (focusing, camera attachment, ease of use etc) over the ED80.
I love this aspect of astronomy, you work with what you have and If the skies are clear!!!
Thoughts please, cheers Kym.
