He just posted about his mass produced cheap Celestron.




It's interesting that Donal keeps calling the CPC series, used by many
universities and organizations for teaching, "cheap."
They are actually pretty expensive. My CPC 8" scope cost nearly 3K and
my 11 is quite a bit more. My Telvue is more expensive per inch, but
the Celestron gear is far better in actual versatility. The scope that
gets the most use is the best scope, even if it's a 300 dollar dob.
Poor Donal thinks beauty is in the scope, rather than the sky.....too
bad. Maybe he'd like to buy my Questar before I try to sell it on
Astromart.
