Hi, you made some fairly strong statements based on a review that you read, I asked some time ago if you can send that review or tell me where it is - can you do that please? I am somewhat confused, every other review of the new orion optics dobs have been good - I would like to see this counter example before I get one.
Just thought I should mention that I recently bought a 10" Skyliner from North Down Telescopes and its worked out really well.
From my suburban garden I have been able to view just last night the Cats Eye Nebula and the Hercules Cluster.
The views of Jupiter and Saturn are great.
I also had it down in Roundwood for last weekends Star BBQ and one of the "experts" were raving about its optics versus other models there that night. We got to see quite a bit that night including the M51
