of their products as low as possible, hence some of the low quality
lenses that come with some DSLR kits.
Celestron introduced the Schmitt Cassegrain scope to amateurs 40yrs
ago, and have produced good ones ever since. Many observatories are
equipped with 11 and/ or 14" Celestrons, and even a few 20" ones. Their bottom end scopes are no better or worse than many other budget level products.

So Id say the EPS I was looking for are not of the quality I wanted or expected. The scope is not the problem. I was too eager and was sucked in. Anyway it's a learning curb for me but at least I am talking to people with the same scopes.cheers for that.
