what to expect from a C11

Unfortunately with Celestron manufacturing offshore,the quality became variable and so did the image quality.Some of the newer ones seem to give quite good images,others quite bad images.Some are reasonably sharp,some give images that appear washed out with poor contrast.I have only come across 1 of the newer type ie Black metal or carbon fibre tube C11's that give an image anywhere near as good as my old Orange tube C11.And have not come across any that have as little mirror shift.The price we pay for mass production I guess.And oh yes ,my old scope still gives fantastic images of Jupiter.
