I picked up a CR6 Ahro a while back. For under $300 is the best bang for the buck. I gave up on the SW150ED. -

I paid $2400 used for the APM shipping included. It was like 6 weeks old. Had it up to 1000x on the moon and i be darned the image was not bad. Very dim but still looked ok. The CR6 was local so i had to try it out. It did fine with a 3mm Delite this am on the moon. But as we all know there is color on many objects. But for 300 smackers it is not bad. -

I gave up waiting and got a APM and just got a CR6 this weekend. Not bad for $300. -

I was just offered a SW150ED so maybe they are coming back on line. I passed. Maybe in a few months when the planets are back. -

Nice scope. I guess i am not planning to see the SW150ed for a long while the way it looks. -

Nice scopes. So i guess late OCT is out now for the SW150ED? It could be months the way things are going. -

Everything is dead locked as well over here. I think the cell is being reworked. I don't think SW will pull a Meade like Meade did with the 7" ED. -

I say up the price and slap in a much better cell that can hold center and collimation. Going cheap is not paying off it seems. -

Maybe shipping bumps these scope out of whack. That was the case with my Meade 7" ED. -

Reminds me of the Meade 7" ED nitemare i had back in 1999. It went back to Meade 4 times and woudldalways come back out of collimation. This was before the cell fix. I got my money on that load of junk. -
Did a local deal on a 120 ED Skywatcher. http://i64.tinypic.com/jrd2wy.jpg[/IMG]

I notice you have a finder scope shoe of some type on that Tak. That gets me to thinking that maybe my Steallar view shoe may work on my FS78. I will have to try it out.
-
All of my Taks have been dead sharp and can take 100x per inch in my steady seeing. I love the little FS78.

Thanks. Here is a Tak FS-78 i just got. Had one years ago and will make a great grab and go for the SP mount. I don't have it mounted right in the pic as this is just a temp way to mount it until i get the right doevtail.
