How much do these orion highlight plossls usually cost? They are 55 bucks from what i see right now. The question is...how do these compare to other plossls in their price range. Meade super plossls 4000 series? Televue plossls are also only about 30 dollars more...at 85 bucks. Anyone care to comment on how these EPs stack up against the other plossl? -------------------- Meade 8.25"(209.55mm) LX-90 EMC (SCT) Albert Einstein => “Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.” “If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.” Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 3 registered and 1 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
