Hi all,

Thanks for your replies!

Sorry I haven't been here much, I've been ... busy.

Anyway, I have a few questions about the discovery telescopes:

1. They're about 3x as much as Orion ones, are they 3x as good as far as quality?
2. It does come with a telrad, is this a "must have"?

I do like the idea of buying something American made, but I do need to justify the price increase...
