What people say
The 102mm refractor provides incredibly bright views of star clusters when paired with the dielectric diagonal.
I love the compact size of the 127mm Maksutov-Cassegrain; it packs a lot of power into a small frame.
The SV225 mount is very sturdy and handles my astrophotography gear without any shaking.
