[AZ-Observing] Re: Meade Thrives

I wonder at the wisdom of setting their future success on a telescope that
is too small to easily see all the objects it can point to.  I would think
developing the mount technology and allowing buyers a choice of 'scope size
would be better.

How does a user upgrade when they want to see more than a very faint, small
gray blob for M1?

This is "thriving"?

 

Sounds like a desparate attempt to reorganize and keep their chins above
water.

 

It wouldn't bother me if they disappeared.  When I called about a MAJOR
problem with my LXD-600 mount, they said they'd never heard of it.  And,
having seen the new fancy-schmantzy 6" ETX-LS in action, I'm still not
impressed.
