I just called Astronomics and they told me this special sale has the very latest model with the new improved metal combo LNT/RDF.
OK. I already have a Nexstar 6SE as well as three refractors. Why should I buy this baby? Will it provide me with better views? I do like the fact that with it's simple leveling alignment system, all I have to do is enter my zip code and it will find the two alignment stars for me to center. No fooling around with the date and time and then trying to do what is a difficult alignment procedure with the Celestron. Are the optics sharper? The aperture is smaller. And some say aperture rules.
Someone talk me into it. Or talk me out of it.
