Hi Jeff, thanks for the pic

So it's fitted to the scope as per standard finder scope. Am I right in saying that there's no magnification, if that's right, is that a good thing.

Also:
(1) I'm leaning towards a Mead Lightscope 10", but I'm concerned about the rigidity and alignment of the 2 tube sections to each other.

(2) I have also been looking at the skywatcher 10" as the sliding design seems to look more accurate and easy to use.

(3) Is there any lose to image quality in an open section tube compared to one piece tube.

(4) The skywatcher doesn't have a cooling fan, is this important?

Is there any opinions out there on these subjects.

Any info/advice will be appreciated.

Thanks to all
Richard
