Explore Scientific Comet Hunter

[Elrond1998]

I've become obsessed with finding more information about ES 152mm David H. Levy Comet Hunter Telescope. I know I'm late to the party since it has been discontinued.  

Firstly, any info from current or past owners would be much appreciated. 

Secondly, any advice where I might find one would also be helpful.

I've been a member here for a while but lack the posting to see the buy and sell forum.

I contacted two owners, one was Cody ( astroblender)

Cody likes his for visual, but pointed out a few issues including mirror clips causing diffraction in images. A second owner had pinched mirror and I think there was an alignment issue with meniscus and mirror.

QC seems to vary and the mirror isn't Intes Micro class. Can be fixed (look on YouTube) and both Cody and Aaron love theirs.

I've had some bad experiences on ebay but I am watching all the classifieds and marketpaces.
