I think the scope is beautifully made. That aside though, I think it's a counter productive design. The mount is way huge and more work to set up that a big dob which will still beat the heck out of it on deep sky. Even fast scopes with the use of a paracorr can produce gorgous pin point images and the fact that this 11" will have way too much color on planets just doesn't seem to hit any catogory too solid for me. The review is appreciated though and I know a lot of heart went into it. My view is just an opinion and others may not agree with it.

Hi Dan,
You make a number of excellent points. On the other hand, there are folks who just like refractors.
All the Best,
Jim Phillips
