Meade LightBridge Dobs

I currently own an Orion XT8 Classic purchased used a few years ago and am thinking of increasing aperture. Does anyone own one of these new Meade LightBridge dobs or has anyone heard any comments about them? Any comments either positive or negative would be much appreciated.

Hi WArren,

First of all you need to know the optics are now made in China. Don't expect them to be as good as they have been in the past.

It is my understanding that those that have them like them;especially, those having the deluxe version. I think you will find better scopes out there, but you did not indicate size or price.

Also checkout the Meade Lightbridge Yahoo users group.

You can also find out some information on the Cloudy Nights website.
