Hi Vladimir. I enjoy reading yours and the many other posts here. I have learned a lot from it.

I was wondering though. With your knowledge of optics, what telescope(s) you own, and which one(s) you like the most.

Kind of a strange question, but I was curious.

Donnie, I have c9.25 Ultima, Intes' MN5 and a home-made short-tube 8" Dob, at present in re-workings (want to make it so that the collimation is done only at the focuser; wish me luck). I like them all, but I do like most any telescope, even those that don't perform very well. There's something about them; if I'd try to put a finger on it, probably a feeling that a telescope can help me reach something, get to some very special, happy place.
And as we all know, they do, every once in a while...
