The 10" Meade Lightbridge uses 90% of the same components as the 10" GSO dob, including the optics and focuser. The added bonus of the 10" Meade Lightbridge is that it is infinitely more portable/transportable than the solid tube GSO dob, while being the optical equivalent. FYI the Meade Lightbridge is manufactured by GSO in Taiwan and rebadged by Meade. It's one of the few things Meade have got right in recent years IMO. Add the Argo Navis DTC package and you have a mighty fine telescope package that will give you years of enjoyment without breaking the bank or your back.
