Love those old Vixen mounts. 

I wonder why anyone would waste their time looking at Venus.  The most boring thing in the sky.  

Get used to perfect pinpoint stars.  Snap focus.  I love newt's  also but nothing like a Tak Apo for pin point stars.  Wish they made a 10in Tak Apo.  

Sad I did not know this. I have one of his books.  Love his stuff,  Thanks for sharing,

For me the old vintage Cave newts are for me my favorite scope to lust after. This completely restored 10in Cave came up on astromart a week ago. These scope just look so good 'they spell class. I have a 15in Obsession in my observatory but If I had the  room I would love to add this/ Its just to far away to pick up' like 2000 miles.  When I  think telescopes I think of this style.  Cant beleive it has not sold yet.

Mars sucks right now. Never judge your scope by it. Collimating is quite easy. get a good laser.  Use a star to see how your optics are doing. Nice pin point stars is what I like. Plus you have a Celestron 6se'  their not going to be Takahashi perfect optics but should be decent enough  to have fun and see much.

Some pics of my new to me Obsession 15in classic. My observatory  was used for imaging for 13 years' but now I am back to my first love just visual. So relaxing. I never though I would own a Obsession again; had one 15 years ago but sold it to finace Imaging.   Now 15 years later one came up for sale close to me in Indiana US.   So its a dream come true.  Will post some more pics later. Had to raise the floor. Thanks all

Just awesome ' Love the look.  10 stars out of 10.
