4" refractor can outperform a 20 year old 10" reflector.


Uh, Donal....a Cave Astrola reflector from the early 80's will easily
top the highest end 4" refractor. It's simply going to collect too
much light over the 4 and transmission coatings don't equal raw
aperture. They've been making VERY good mirrors for even longer than
20 years.
I thought you knew something about this, but it sounds more like
you've read a lot of Vixen and Tak ads.


Ahhhh.....


You can't afford a Tak?
I've been reading the posts about cars. I think that
neither you nor Oz can afford an Aston Martin.

I could buy a Tak tomorrow, but it would be inferior to my CPC scope
since it would be tougher to setup and would get less use. I'm
planning on a GT-R, which is better than an Aston Martin.


The GT-R is FASTER than the DB9. If you think that means
that it is better then you are not really qualified to own an Aston.



After all, Aston relies on the fact that footballers' wives do not
drive their cars to maintain their reputation.

An Aston is about Power, Soul and Beauty. If all you want
is Power, then you should buy the GT-R. It would suit you
better.
