Bausch & Lomb Criterion 4000 - Advice?

Posted By Steve Komp

Hello All -

I'm new to the forum and hopefully someone out there can give me some advice. I am thinking about purchasing a Bausch & Lomb Criterion 4000 telescope. I don't know much about them but, the used price is within my budget (under $400). I've looked all over the net for information and there doesn't seem to be much out there.

Would this be a good telescope to purchase or can someone recommend another for about the same price? I'd like something compact (a SCT), if possible.

Many thanks - Steve

Mount for a 4" Refractor..Please Help

Posted By Steve Komp

Hi Everyone -

I just purchased a 4" wide field refractor and I need a mount for it. I'm relatively new to this and I don't want to have to take out a second mortgage to purchase this mount. The scope will be used, primarily, for visual observing.

Thank you for your help.

Best Wide Field Eyepiece???

Posted By Steve Komp

Hi All -

I recently purchased a 4" f/5 refractor for wide field viewing. Could someone recommend a decent wide field eyepiece for under $100?

Thank You - Steve

Bausch & Lomb Criterion 4000 - Advice?

Posted By Steve Komp

Thank you all for your advice. I purchased a Celestron Nexstar 4 from RONALD LAIESKI here on AstroMart. For the price, I just couldn't pass it up. I owned a Dob many years ago and will, more than likely, purchase another one in the years to come.

Thanks again for all your advice. This site is THE BEST!!!
