You dont have this sort of quality problem with a $495 PST or $550 35mm lunt now do you ? ( differant focusing system I know , but come on Peter would you be happy ? )
Perspective ? , 2.5k is still 2.5k no matter how you look at it Peter .
A lot of money for us hard working folk , for a sub standard scope no matter what way you look at it .

It was not all that long ago when a 60mm sub angstrom h-alpha filter would run closer to $5k.
I've also seen a number of very ordinary Meade/Coronado units hence wouldn't think you are home free there.
As to why Lunt standard focusers mar so quickly, it may be they don't use T6 or hard anodizing as theses things cost $ which our bean-counter run society puts a priority on, hence the cheap build.
If you need to meet a specification then the $ can go up significantly. At $2500 don't expect a Benz, when IMHO you really only paid for the Barina. |
