I have a jones-Bird 4.5 inch newt and I'm not too thrilled by the views....it just lack that last bit of crispness even when tweaked to the max. As if something is missing. Also there is quite a bit of CA on bright stars. So the 2130 is definately out. Any Experience with thier MAK range especially the 102 in particular? Thanks Rahul K.
