Meade LightBridge Dobs

Hi WArren,

First of all you need to know the optics are now made in China. Don't expect them to be as good as they have been in the past.

It is my understanding that those that have them like them;especially, those having the deluxe version. I think you will find better scopes out there, but you did not indicate size or price.

Also checkout the Meade Lightbridge Yahoo users group.

You can also find out some information on the Cloudy Nights website.
