We've got a LP 110 carbon-fiber doublet. - originally bought it for Mrs Rider to go bird watching, as it was less $ than a quality bird-scope with more aperture and a 2 speed focusser.

BUT, its spent a fair bit of time looking at stars, cos the views are fabulous, and I'm a sucker for well built good looking wide-field scopes (errr, and the Carbon-fiber bling is just glorious.)

When it arrived I was blown away by the quality of the build, and though I'm not a refractor fan (aperture rules ok), I think it stacks up to WO's scopes Ive looked through, for less than 2/3 the price.
