Meade LX70 R6 6" Reflector Telescope OTA # 270021
Very good telescope
Very good telescope with good optics and quality in its construction. Fine termination. I already have a 200/1000 and it has given me many satisfactions. It also at an incredible price.

Meade LX70 R8 8" Equatorial Reflector Telescope # 270012
Meade LX70 R8 telescope
The scope was a Christmas present for my wife. She was thrilled when she opened the box, and spent Christmas day reading all about the setup. We have not tried it out as of yet, but it looks like she will be spending a lot of time star gazing. The bi...

Excellent Telescope
Excellent telescope and best mount. I was totally satisfied. A little gem.

Meade LX70 R8 8" Reflector Telescope OTA # 270022
Reasonable quality/price
Needs some care in alignment. The screws at the bottom are easy to use (with a suitable laser alignment tool), unfortunately they stick out quite a bit so it is impossible to put the instrument on its base. I find the overall quality of the mirrors g...

Meade LX70 R8 8" Reflector Telescope OTA # 270022
Purchased tube only.
Meade has had some bad reviews in the past but this scope is a winner! You can't beat the price and I think the optics are very good. The construction is also very good. Solid spider and the finder is large and of goo quality. I understand that this ...

Vixen VC200L 200mm f/9 Aspherical Reflector Telescope
Load of light ... very flat
This is a fairly light weight unit for 8" of aperature. It must be collimated to achieve a sharp focus, but it lights up an entire DSLR frame and the stars are flat from edge to egde. Collimation is a little tricky to achieve, but once you have it, i...

Vixen R200SS 200mm f/4 Newtonian Reflector Telescope
Great Scope for Widefield Astrophotography
The Vixen R200SS is one scope I've owned that I wish I had not sold. If you are looking for a 8" F4 scope that is already optimised for widefield astrophotography then the R200SS should be on your list. The R200SS is compact and lightweight (even for...

Celestron PowerSeeker 127EQ Telescope # 21049
Telescope performs better than expected.
The tripod and telescope perform better than expected for the price paid. At a mere $140 and a little knowledge of the skies (easily obtained from the freebee CD or wunderground.com's astronomy map), nebulae, galaxies, planets, clusters and anything...
