Yeah, I knew that. I edited my post.

IMO I disagree. The Apo's were better than any of the Newts.
Well, I looked at Jupiter through Julian's Apo for about 20 seconds in better than average seeing, and through the Newt for about an hour or two, much of which was in the best seeing, so it was not exactly a fair comparison. But I'll be so much happier and wealthier if I believe that the bigger Newts were better than the apos. The apo bug is even worse than aperture fever, in dollar terms. Look at Stu! He has his Tak at long last, but he can hardly afford to feed himself.

Come'on Dave! Newt vs SCT vs Apo vs Mak! Dob vs GoTo vs PushTo!
