Meade 6" f5 Newt?
Hi,
looking at the Meade 6" f5 Newt OTA that Bintel has for $399 as the basis of a compact astrograph.
Has anyone any experience of them and can comment on the optical quality?
Proposing to fit a crayford focuser , and larger diagonal, as well as use my Baader MPCC.
Need a lowend solution to use as a temporary scope as I just had a major accident with my 10" newt that destroyed the tube (optics fotunately OK - but need a complete rebuild that will take ages, unless someone knows a source of cheap metal tubes).
Is the OTA a rebadged GSO? can get the tube $100 cheaper from Andrews.....
cheers
Gary
