Hi Folks,
I'd like to get a portable refractor for general viewing. I already have a Vixen GP and a TV Gibraltor mount. But I can't decide if I should go with the new 102DN or a used orig. Genesis. They're about the same length, but the 102DN is about 2 lbs heavier, so not an issue regarding size. I know the Genesis will have a slightly wider FOV, and perhaps better color correction. But the 102DN, new, is still less then a used Genesis. And I wonder if the 102DN would have better transparency vs the 4 element Genesis. Any advice or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill
