Lx-90 vs. Nextar 8i

Posted By Mike Rappa

Any thoughts on the new sale war between Celestron and Meade on the 8 inch SCTs? $1399 buys either one right now, I'm trying to decide which is the better scope for me.

Does anyone have any factually-based opinion on how much better of an image can be made using a Powermate vs. using a normal type of a Barlow lense? How much of a difference is there? The difference in price can be about $100 or more. I would be purchasing one to use with a Meade LX-90 (8 inch) and LPI for planetary imaging.

Thanks!!

Anyone Use a ClearVue 15 mm 2" 80' Eyepiece?

I currently own the 30 mm Clearvue 2" 80' AFOV eyepiece and love it...I was wondering how the 15 mm performs.
