Actually says the optics were made by celestron, but have changed colour.

actually Orion was purchased by the company behind Starry Night..a Canadian company called Imaginova

Orion never had a SCT in their line up so this allowed them to match an OTA with the Atlas mount which is very well regarded

Ahhhh, always thought Orion was chinese owned for some reason. Must have heard it somewhere and it stuck. Thanks for the clarification on that. Never heard of Imaginova before.

Hi

you would be happy with either. I own a 12"LX200GPS and am happy with it. There are problems now and then ( blown computer) but you get that with all scopes. What I love about the LX200GPS is the aftermarket parts that are available.

Hi all

Consider this as an idea, how about a Dob plus the Argo Navis DSC. You get the portability of a Dob plus the power of a goto (e.g. push-to) with out all the motors noise.
