WHATS UP?What software problems are you speaking about?


I just remember reading a small while back about software issues (bugs) and I've seen first hand a celestron scope do some fairly wild things.
this is not a personal attack on celestron, I own a celestron myself.

but will he be the same price as in the U.S.?The U.S. sites I visited, have the same prices,


Same number I'd bet but check the currency symbol on the price, if they were genuinely the same price in the US, then they'd wipe out the competition.

I am just wondering will the price skyrocket after a few months out.Is it safe to order from the U.S., I have read the other post?


I've ordered many bits'n pieces and eyepieces from the US, no scopes yet.

I think the scope looks fab,
but I would get over excited on the bulky look of the arms, the plastic isn't structural afterall.
Its good to see a breath of fresh air, it does seem like its been meade, meade, meade recently......

It does look good. AND, it has the same amount of database objects as the Meade equivalent in the controller. BUT, I would say that the new mount design looks thicker/bulkier than its Meade counterpart - could make it that bit harder to store without scratching etc the nice looking plastic.

Still, for that kind of price, you really can't go wrong when all you've seen recently is all Meade LX this and Meade LX that...

Seanie.
