Thats a bit harsh, Rodmeister
I think it looks alright. Besides, most scopes look the same in the
dark ;)
Celestron's aim, in this case, was supplying an _affordable_ scope, and
more power to them.
In a way, I was glad they didnt just try to out-do Meade with a bigger,
better, faster, more expensive scope which only a handful of people can
afford.
Still, Meade does currently seem to have the advantage when it comes to
advanced innovative features..
