This part is still under construction. Please be patient. I am working on it...... Nobody has really irritated me enough to make it to this page yet... Well, the really poor design work done on the Meade 8 inch dobsonian might be a good start. It is really good that I got it at a close-out discount price or I might really get mad about some of the things wrong with my scope. It is easy to see why it has been discontinued....



And My Raves...
One thing that I HAVE noticed is that everyone I have met in this hobby has been very friendly and helpful. They all seem to be very nice people. That is pretty cool.


While I appreciate all the advice given to newbies about a first scope purchase being a dobsonian, and I do enjoy my Meade, I think that first scope advice should now be modified. I absolutely love my little Nexstar. It is soooo much fun. The price of goto scopes has come down to the point that they now make a better choice for a first scope. I think that for any beginner living in a heavily light-polluted area, a goto is definitely a better choice for a first scope. I think that the goto will give a better chance of getting the newbie "hooked" on the hobby. Just my opinion....


Another Rave... All of the Nexstar owners on the Yahoo Nexstar group. Amazing bunch of people. Very helpful, funny, and knowlegable. I am glad I found them. You should check them out if you are nice people too...
