I don't want to take photos, at least not in any serious measure. I
wanted a fun and easy to setup scope that would have great GOTO
abilities and cost less than 3 grand complete. The CPC series delivers
exactly that. All I added was a better diagonal and some Telveues and
it's a perfect scope. BTW, I recently sold my 102 Televue APO and am
buying a William Optics 132 triplet.
Sorry!

Hmmmm...
Your approach to optics seems to be the same as your
approach to boats. You must be the first person in history to move
"up" from a Televue to a Williams Optics.

WO are good, but they are a bit like Celestron. They are
superb value for money. If you want the best, then you
really cannot go for "value for money".

Furthermore, if you want a good refractor, then you need a
quadruplet. The triplets are good, but they are not perfect.

It's a bit like comparing an Evo with a DB9.
