new imaging scope

[gary1968]

Howdy,

I am looking for a bit of advice, again, lol.

I am looking to buy a new imaging scope. I dont think I want to get back into reflectors again, although I do fancy the Altair Astro 6" RC.............. but unsure as it is quite slow at F9.

However, I spotted this, http://www.teleskop-express.de/shop/product_info.php?products_id=4649#zubehoer and quite like the look of it. Its a F6.5 Apo frac that I believe has a built in flattener. Has anyone on here used one, or heard ant good, or bad, reports on it.

The scope I buy will also be my visual scope, although visual is going to take a back seat as I just sold a 12" dob and looking through somthing like that frac just aint gonna cut it I think.

Anyway, and advice or opinions appriciated folks.

Gaz

There have been some issues in the past with a quadruplet from TS (not sure if this is the same one). Pinched optics in cold conditions if I recall rightly
