I am going to get myself a telescope here pretty soon. The question is which one? I have narrowed it down between 2 scopes. Lx200 8" UHTC GPS, or a Celestron 9.25 advanced series seen here in this link, http://www.buytelescopes.com/product.asp?t=&pid=5254&m=1 (I know this telescope is not yet on the market).
I would like a 10" Meade but the weight I know will be in issue. Be honest. How are the optics on the 8"Meade, do the UHTC optics compare with the 9.25" Celestron? I have read that the Celestron optics are Very good, but I have not read too much about the optics on the Meade 8". I will be using the scope for planets as well as deep space observations. I know the Meade will be really nice for finding objects in space etc. Anyone who has looked through both the Meade and a 9.25 Celestron, I am looking for advice and opinions. Any information would be really helpful. Thanks.
