16" f/4.5
Meade Optics

"It is difficult to tell you how proud I am of my scope. I sure get lots of compliments on the scope and the movement. The local club has a small observatory with a 16" on an equatorial mount. The images in my scope puts it in the shade very quickly".

"As you know I have a 12 1/2" Starsplitter compact and my original 10" Meade. The Nightsky is much easier to use than either of the other two. Part of the reason is that to locate objects in the other two in the telerad you have to scrunch around in awkward positions. Now for a few objects that is O.K. but for older somewhat arthritic old farts that wears you out before long and leaves you stiff in the morning. Beyond that the movement in your scope has really spoiled me and that larger aperture gets you addicted in a hurry. If my wife would not scream like a banshee I would divest myself of the other two. I don't want to share my Nightsky with her anyway, so there".

"The Meade mirror is working well and I am a real happy camper. If I do not wear the finish off of it by polishing it too much it will last me a good long time." (can't seem to keep my hands off of it.)

"Take care. I am tickled pea green that your business is doing so well. Love to see people succeed."

Lowell
