Hi Trevor,
I have no problems whatsoever with any of the scopes noted by Troy, I think all are proving to be wonderful scopes in their own right and Paul sums it up very well (I might agree to disagree on the early Meades). We are fortunate to have such a great variety of equipment available. Pauls comments are absolutely spot in in relation to what you want to use the scope for and I think as many have found through trial and error when it comes to planetary and DSO you will probably end up with several scopes or you will specialise in a particular area. I just take exception to bagging Meade constantly gets for no valid reason. I am very happy with what I have, as I know many many other Meade owners are who don't post. It does the job I have it for exceptionally well. Sure, I am not a planetary imager nor even on the same planet when it comes to the likes of great DSO imagers here on IIS. The GSO RC from what I have seen of Pauls images has absolutely wonderful potential and you may recall that was bagged not long ago on this site. I nearly became a victim of what I read and was almost convinced from that they were crap, then I see Pauls first images and nearly fall of the chair. Can't wait until the Orion ones arrive in Jul/Aug...
