has anyone any first hand experience with the little celestron c6 sct. i understand it is chinese made, but have heard some rumors it is not a bad scope, especially for the price. are there any reviews posted anywhere?

along the whole idea of portability. i recently asked this same question and as the celestron c6 was still relatively new, the response was somewhat limited. can anyone give me additional first hand information as to the quality of the celestron c6? i just read the larry carlino evaluation. can anyone add to it and with any more comparitive evaluation. i have a william optics 2in sct diagonal already, with a pan 35 and nagler 17, as well as 1 1/4 nagler 9 and 5. anyone ever used these with a c6?... especially the 2in variety. any response is appreciated, as specific and critical as possible.
cheers,

im really a novice here but do you mind if i ask you a question... ive just bought my entry telescope after hours studying here on astromart largely from the sidelines... a celestron 9 1/4 xlt nexstar gps, and yes i did get it here on astromart. anyways... if i had a choice of 3 eyepieces to eventually aim for, what would you suggest? i currently have the stock 1 1/4 diagonal and the 40mm which accompanies it. i also have a 9mm and 19mm vixen. any help is appreciated...

after following astromar for about a year... i just got a celestron 9 1/4, gps with go to... even dummies like me are able to use it

i guess what im asking is has anyone done a direct comparison to any of the intes or intes micro alter russian mak scopes?
