I like that site a lot. It's nice to be able to see objective assessments of optical quality. SCT tests look kinda scary, and I have an ugly one here from the Halley's comet era, but it still picks up finer detail than my decent 4" refractor through brute force of aperture. I appreciate the light weight and compactness of the SCT design - just a shame I can't order a non-astigmatic, smooth 1/4 wave OTA for a few hundred extra.
