Huh. At least it isn't by Meade. (Not that I don't like Meade, I own an LX200 and lots of their things). This will at least keep competition up and bring products around.
Wonder how stuff will change in the next few years?
EDIT: Haha! I posted "how stuff will change in the next few years" exactly at the same time Randy Roy did...
Well, I'm glad Celestron is going to stay in business... it would be a shame for them to close doors. Who knows, this might be a good thing for Synta too... maybe their quality will go UP!
