Does anybody own a Orion Apex 125mm scope in the Phoenix area? If so I would
like your feedback on the optical quality and overall design of the scope and
would like to meet you at a star party to look through it. I am thinking of
purchasing the scope for planet, moon, sun and some deep-sky viewing when I
travel.
I had an opportunity to look through a Meade ETX125 scope last month at Saturn
and the optics and focusing were poor. The scope also had about 1/2 turn of
backlash and image shift. Are the Orion's the same? Would a Intes MK67 scope
be better?
Thx;
