Its funny in this hobby how over the years you go full circle sometimes. In this case, a manufacturer. Had a C-8 years ago, very good example, and now I'm back to a celestron, apparently a fine piece again.
I have moved up to a large apo refractor, but wanted a light, no fuss grab-n-go. I'm hooked on refractor views,so when the price of these little ED's got appealing I had to bite. I'm satisfied!
Jupiter this morning was crisp and detailed with no color fringe. Saturn rings with cassini, equatorial banding, warm straw color with no PURPLE. TV 4.8 Nag yielding 125X nice for this aperature. I'll press it further and star test when time permits but it already lived up to what I wanted, high quality view, LOW price, quick and easy on an old Jason (EQ-2)mount I had laying around. Don't overlook this scope!
Negatives-focuser is abit stiff, cradle ring too tight, Aaahhh but Only 1/5 the cost of others,sweet
