OK, I've brought this up before and it started a flame war. Let's try to
stay cool....

I read the reviews of telescopes in S&T and am always disappointed that
they
don't do more rigorous testing or provide some real. The review of the C-6
is no exception. There's a bunch of "writing" about the mount and the
"optically excellent 6x30 finder" and then the write states the OTA has
"excellent optics". He determines this because he can see the Cassini
Division in Saturn. Neat. Those observations are subject to numerous
factors; seeing comes to mind. Why don't they bench test the optics? I'd
like the stats, not the impressions of an employee of the company paid to
sell the stuff.

Doink,


Most reviews are not in-depth enough to satisfy me, but I would take your
comments more seriously if they made it sound like you had actually given
the review a careful reading. The comment about Cassini's division involved
a bit more than just seeing it, and was only a small portion of the optical
evaluation. Did you miss the rest of it?

I am not familiar with the author of the article, so I am not sure what you
mean when you say "impressions of an employee of the company paid to sell
the stuff." Who does Mr. Ashford work for?

Clear skies, Alan
