Grab & Go - Your Opinion?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Mark, have you thought about getting the XT8 lil' brother for this, like the XT4.5?

To be honest with you, I doubt you'll get a better "complete set" than this for about $200... (and it is quite portable)... (also not to mention that the footprint will be smaller than with a tripod/scope...)


Just my .02 cents... don't spend them all in one place... wink

help me shoose between two scopes

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Manuel, to be honest with you, I would NOT pick neither one of them...

For about $200, get the Orion XT4.5, which is very nice, simple, and will get you nice views of the Sky without complications...

For $200 you WILL NOT get a GOOD SCOPE/GOOD MOUNT/GOOD ELECTRONICS... too much for too little...
