Pity that. I am not a Meade fan and I don't normally push their gear. I don't own and have never owned one single piece of optical equipment made or sold by Meade and never will. But I have to say the Meade 7"/F15 Maksutov is an outstanding telescope and one of the very best telescopes Meade ever made. These were made in the Irvine California factory.
