Celestron C6 R-GT 150mm

While I was looking at the Orion site earlier today, I came across an ad for this scope. Considering the price, it looks like it might be a good deal. Has anyone had any experience with this scope? I know there may be some color, but is it really that bad? Ever since I got rid of my FS-128 I've wanted another refractor. I understand it's not a Tak, but is it a good scope for the money? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

They can be excellent scopes period, if you get
a well corrected one. Not apo, but it's a refractor!
I have gone through about 10 of them, and only the one
I have now, and maybe two others were keepers.

I bought a used C6-RGT a couple of months ago. It was my first ever GOTO scope and I love it. It has taken some familiarization mainly because I'm rather low-tech, but it has given me some great views. I had it out last night and the views of Saturn and some open star clusters were amazing! I would definitely recommend buying one. The computer object database will give you hours of viewing. Rich
