Hey Richard, as others here will quickly chime in, I'll just say that I was astonished at how good these little refractors really are. I recently obtained a very nice 66TE, but quickly ran into trouble that left me bitterly disappointed.
Luckily, it ended up being a simple flipped crown element. As I mentioned, once corrected, the 50 has no trouble rendering sharp detail on Saturn, and easily split Izar.
Folks speak highly of these things for a reason.
(I almost jumped in on that 6TE, but thought maybe it went a bit too high. I'm glad now I didn't so you can enjoy one).
Here's my 66TE:
--------------------
"Illimitable ocean, without bound, Without dimension, where length, breadth, and height, And time, and place are lost." - Milton
-Darrell
Reflectors - 76 to 305mm (f4.7 to f9.2)
Refractors - 50 to 120mm (f5 to f16.7)
Binoculars - 6x15 to 22x100
