I posted this question in the equipment forum, but response was limited. I am looking at these two scopes, both with the enhanced coatings, and was trying to gather user opinions. The Meade definitely has more features and is less expensive. The Celestron has that nice GEM and is probably easier to transport. I want to get into a bit of astrophotography as well as just plain old observing. That means that the Meade will probably need a wedge.
What are some of the reasons that you bought your scope? What are the downsides to living with what you have? I am going to post this same message in the other guys forum and hopefully get a lot of feedback.
Thanks,
DL
