Joe,

Great job! I really enjoyed this read. I was out last Sunday night doing some outreach at a Girl Scout Camp about 50 miles east of town -- SPECTACULAR dark sky site, Milky Way clearly visible with various dark cloud patches from Sagittarius to Cassiopeia. I had my 6" F/6 custom built dob and my 80mm AstroTech refractor. I really like my AT80ED, but I can't deny that something like this scope is appealing.

I wonder how the vignetting issue the author experienced with the 6" Synta works out for the 130ST? I have been considering that scope, since I think it would ride the CG-4, aka EQ-3 or AstroView, mount better than the 6" tube. Any advice, anyone?

Thanks,

CDS
