Well, whether I made the right decision or not I have elected to buy the NP101. There were a few considerations, each had their good and bad points, but in the end I decided on the Televue. It can be serviced here in the USA, has great support and the flat field is excellent for imaging.
Very tough to make up your mind with so many scopes for sale now. It seems to be a buyers market, which is good, but makes it hard too.
Thanks all for your input. grin

Hi Floyd,

Great decision on the NP-101. Spectacular optics!!! Did you also get a feathertouch? I actually use a NGF with DRO to do my focusing. The stock focuser is woefully inadequate for imaging (visually it does a pretty good job though). Have you seen Bernard Hubl's website? He has done some very nice work with the NP-101 and an ST-2000.

clear skies,

Jeff
