A Sophie's Choice : Sky 90 orTMB 80/600

For those who chase windmills and count angels on heads of pins: If there could be only one small grab and go APO, which would you want?

If available, I'd go for a Stowaway f/7. 92mm, no color, .98+ strehl, Feathertouch focuser, nice case...

If you ever get a chance to view through a 90mm Celestron/Vixen f9 fluorite, then please do so. You will be amazed! And the stock 1.25" focuser on mine has been trouble-free and quite smooth. It just needs to be re-adjusted from time-to-time. Takes about 20 seconds. At f9 it is long. But for traveling it breaks down easily into four pieces. This requires no tools and takes about a minute. Hope this wasn't off-topic, but just want to remind people that some of the older stuff is still good.

The TMB is for shure shorter than the Sky 90 when it is collabsed down and weight ? The TMB is 6 lbs only
