Meade lightswitch acf 6”

[Robindonne]

Hello.  I was wondering if anyone is familiar with this scope.  Its probably a dated model.  One came for sale and while i dont have a small sc anymore it might be a good  alternative.   Just dont know a thing about this model.  
 

By good alternative i mean fun to use. Or interesting to use.  My guess is that its never been a succes this model

Still available in the UK at least, for about £1500

Overpriced

Good "Coma Free" optics,

Mount will be okay for visual use.

Hm oke thx.   The still availability is new for me thx.  The “overpriced” and lack of reactions can be seen as an answer🙂.   Thx again.

Should deliver nice coma free views, the optics will be nice. I think that a lot of the cost went into the ‘light switch’ mount, where it does all the alignment for you.  For that reason it’s aimed at beginners, or experienced visual observers who don’t want the hassle of setting up.  However most experienced observers probably see the mount as a bit of a gimmick and don’t mind spending time on alignment set-up.  They’d rather save some money instead.

If it’s 2nd hand and a good price, it might serve well?
