hfjacinto, no offence but I have to agree with Rob.
Maybe I'm just showing my age but the Meade 5000 just does not look like it should be used in any serious scope.
It's interesting how looks can have enough influence to prevent me from considering what could be a perfectly good EP.
Maybe I'm shallower than I thought.
