Televue Starbeam

[Charon]

Hi,

Has anyone either got or used the Televue Starbeam? I have just read the info on it but would prefer some first hand knowledge. They are expensive (to me anyway) @ £222, so if the reports are good it might have to be a Christmas present to myself.

Many thanks

Dex.

I've only ever seen one briefly, so someone with more experience may be able to comment. The 'right-angle' aspect seemed nice for a Dob near zenith,

but it's awfully expensive. Personally i'd go for the Baader SkySurfer V, which is a very well made, easy-to-use RDF, and save about £150...
