Good ole' TT. He's always been a big Televue supporter. I probably would be too if I had the money to indulge in one of their fine scopes. I just can't get past the bang for buck that you get with say a WO or SW Eon, etc.

It's hard for me to comment on this thread given I've never looked through a Televue. I can only say I'm not really tempted by them given their price (and the low AU$). If it were me I'd probably be sticking with your M90 and maybe just splurge on a really nice Alt/Az mount and tripod for it (if your not happy with your existing setup). Personally, as much as I love my 66SD, it just doesn't have enough punch as a primary viewing instrument. My ZS80ED does pretty well, and the M102SV a bit better again (but more weight). I'd have thought the M90 would fit your needs pretty well really. I'm just not sure how much extra you'll get for your money with a TV76 or 85.

Have a think about what was lacking with the M90. Was it the scope or the mount setup?
