I've had both the AR-5 and AR-6 (I currently have an Ar-5). The Ar-6 is a heavy scope (about 24 pounds). The Ar-5 is only 15 pounds. Also, my Ar-5 is f/9.3, while the Ar-6 is f/8. I have less chromatism with my Ar-5 than I had with the Ar-6. -------------------- Richard Barton Turner Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Any one using a Meade AR-5 or AR-6 to image with w Gregk 07/01/09 06:01 PM Re: Any one using a Meade AR-5 or AR-6 to image with w Gregk   07/02/09 12:22 PM Re: Any one using a Meade AR-5 or AR-6 to image with w ScopenChuck   07/02/09 12:49 AM Re: Any one using a Meade AR-5 or AR-6 to image with w ScopenChuck   07/02/09 12:52 AM Re: Any one using a Meade AR-5 or AR-6 to image with w ScopenChuck   07/02/09 12:52 AM Re: Any one using a Meade AR-5 or AR-6 to image with w mark Jimenez   07/02/09 11:51 AM Re: Any one using a Meade AR-5 or AR-6 to image wi Gregk   07/02/09 01:12 PM Re: Any one using a Meade AR-5 or AR-6 to image with w Richard Turner   07/02/09 03:54 PM Re: Any one using a Meade AR-5 or AR-6 to image with w Gregk   07/02/09 05:51 PM Re: Any one using a Meade AR-5 or AR-6 to image with w ScopenChuck   07/02/09 11:17 PM Extra information 2 registered and 2 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
