[QUOTE=ausastronomer;973315]Geoff,
I am not getting personal, I am being accurate and truthful and I have no doubt that my comments above are 100% correct.
Having been involved in astronomy for just over 40 years; having used over 300 different telescopes including some of the best amateur telescopes on the planet which range from 50mm refractors to 36" dobs, to 20 " Classical Cassegrains, to 15" refractors; and owning one of the best telescopes on the planet 14"/F4.5 SDM (Zambuto Optics), I can pass on the following information.
I have seen a lot of people come and go from astronomy over those 40 years.
John,
We must get together sometime, and debate our contrary views! I also have been in the game for over 40 years (47 to be precise!) I have seen first or even second scope 8" dobs lie gathering dust in garages.
And I still reckon my 130EDT is in many ways a better scope than my 18" SDM! I hope to have them both together at the SPSP.
