Both Celestron & Meade have done amateur astronomy a great service and as Mark said they have brought telescopes down to a reasonable price and within everyones realms.

I own a 1976 C8 orange tube and the LX200R 12" and both deliver wonderful views and both since new. If these two manufacturers had never started up I hate to think where we would be today and how many of us could actually afford to own a quality scope.

Cheers
