Jim, Nice rigs, Just out of curiosity, whuch scope has the better view, the Genesis SDF or the Meade 102 ED?

Ooooh...I've been working on that.
At this point I will say the Meade 102ED has noticably better CA suppression than the Genesis SDF, most noticable on on the luner limb. Genesis is a bit more compact in size and has a wider field of view F/5.4 vs F/9, respectfully. Views of Saturn were similar, though if push came to shove the Meade would edge out the TeleVue.
I have not had the Genesis at a dark site and that's where it will shine(fun factor) with it's wide field capability.
I'am holding on to both ota's at the present time, unless I go nuts and sell both off(among other items) for a NP-101.
Wow, that surprises me, an ED doublet having less color than a 4 element fluorite. Live and learn.
