Yes, I read that response. It seems that Celestron wants to shoot itself in the foot. It would be nice to own a 14" model, but since you can get far better optics for less, why buy one when a CDK is in the offing!!!. I have a Meade 8" ACF, as you'd probably know, and I'm extremely happy with it, but I'd like to have a play around with the Hyperstar lens setup to see if it's as good as they say it is. Unfortunately they don't have one to go with the ACF optics.
I might try for a 2nd hand Celestron or compatible Meade...it'll probably be cheaper anyway!!.
Well...time to go catch some Zzzz's...see you later on
