What would be the general opinion of this http://cgi.ebay.com/Meade-DS-2090AT-TC-refractor-with-Autostar-20095-RE_W0QQitemZ7595668078QQcategoryZ74928QQcmdZViewItem scope and mount and specificlly would the be able to holdup using an older film camera (no plastic just good old alum. and brass)?
My first foray into refractorville (copyscope) didn't work so good, so now I'm going to try to talk mama out some of the tax money and pick up a reasonably decent scope.
Meade also has a 70mm short tube fork mounted with the 494 tracking & GOTO system and the electronic eyepiece.
I am leaning toward the long tube mainly because of the aperture and the eyepieces.
Your opinion?

The "star" we look at tonight may have exploded millenniums ago. (To progress, we must discern what exists and what does not).
