90mm short tube refractor

Hi there

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with the 90mm (f6.6) short tube refractor from AOE: http://www.aoe.com.au/refractors.html

I've got a 150mm/f8 refractor (which I find to be excellent - thanks Mick Pinner!) and wanted to get something to complement it for wide field views and as a ubiquitous "quick look" telescope.

Appreciate any thoughts.

Thanks

Andrew

hi Andrew, have a look at the Andrews site, under Skywatcher see the 102 x 500 OTA $349.00 a friend has one for general wide field browsing and they are good value, some false colour on brighter objects but for the money they are a bargain.

Thanks Mick. Saw the 102 x 500 after I posted. Might just have to give them a call.
