I have a Celestron C90 Maksutov.
Very impressed with it when using it as a spotting scope, with the supplied 32mm eyepiece. You wont enjoy this with a cheap tripod though, (I have tried it on my neighbours Manfrotto tripod, sheer luxury but nearly $400 secondhand!) and as soon as I put my Pentax *ist DL2 DSLR on it, there is not enough light gathering ability even in broad daylight on a sunny day. Its ok for looking at the moon and thats about the only object in the sky that I can get a photo of without longer exposures.
I am in the lucky position of being able to afford a new mount and a new scope at the same time, so my C90 will be ganging up with a EQ6 Pro Synscan and a SW 100ED Pro. With a mount like that I *may* be able to get some night time action from the C90.
Phil.
