Rumor has it that the new 10" and 12" StarHoppers (Guan Sheng), will start shipping soon. I will be most interested in hearing how these latest big dob offerings from Celestron perform. It looks like these latest offerings have some good upgrades to a Guan Sheng
line that already has a good rep for good optics on a budget. I for one am a Binoviewing fanatic, but a Starmaster or a pricey truss Dob is out of my budget at this time. Could be some good Binoviewing on a budget!. I've heard that UPS and FEDEX were refusing to ship the 12" Dobs for simply being to big. I have noticed that the shipping on the 12" from various dealers is reasonable. I wonder if Celestron resolved this issue without requiring special truck freighting. Anyway, this hobby just gets better and better for those of us who want good performance ,but just can not swing for a Zambuto mirror with a 31 Nagler. Clear skies!!!!!
