Thought I'd post one more time before the inevitable happens and this thread is locked.

I agree with Chris' sentiments. You only want the advice that matches what you want have already planned to do - that suggests insecurity.

I can't really see how my previous posts in this and your other thread, convey envy - I certainly don't want what you have or intend to buy. I'm proud of where I am in life. Really I was just hoping to redirect your funds towards something that I firmly believe would suit you better. You haven't made any statements to offer a counter argument to any of that advice, so I can only assume you either don't have anything to counter it or have ignored it.

As to your original question about Meade vs Celestron - they're both like a good quality mass produced car - there's very little between them. I'm very happy with the image quality of my Meade ACF scope, and many other experienced observers have commented favourably when looking through my scope. Neither of these manufacturers produce the best available scopes in the world.

Maybe one day, you'll prove yourself and someone will name a space telescope after you.

This thread will self destruct in five seconds.
