Okay guys... I have YET to see a post like this so I'll be the first to bring it up. WHICH scope is better??? I guess you could say this is pretty much an AR6 vs. CR105HD thread, as the C6 is basically a clone of the new CR105's out there, only difference being it's on the new CG-5 goto mount. At any rate, the build quality MAY be a little different for this RGT scope, who knows.

Also at odds are the quality of the mounts (forget about the tripods as honestly they're somewhat disposable and upgradable items). I KNOW they both are a bit undersized but how about missed-counts/errors, the clutches, sound, smoothness, etc... so, LXD55 vs. CG-5 goto also.

Swing away guys...

I did see a thread somewhere on yahoo saying that the mount/tripod is pushed to its max with the C 9.25 sct but is a little better with the 6" refractor but there is still some vibration. Do some research on the celestron threads before you buy. Also go look at the Meade refractoe forum on yahoo. There is alot of good info on the AR6 there
