Here is the place to talk about all those equipment(Telescope, Mounts, Eyepieces, etc...) you have. Not sure which scope/eyepiece is best for you? Trash it out here!
I wonder if they keep the price the same? And the quality?

Well I hope they raise the quality! My portaball's electrical system was dead-on-arrival. There were TWO bad solder joints and one bad grounding connection. The last thing I expected on the day I received my scope was to have to dust off my soldering iron! So much for "Made in usa" :roll:
We do it in the dark...
Portaball 12.5"
Takahashi Mewlon 210
William Optics 110ED
...and all night long!

Oh dear!
Maybe if you read the box carefully, it says "Some assembly required"?

eh this kind of delicate hand crafted stuff cannot expect too much la. there's always a compromise between durability and portability. must keep some glue, screwdriver, tape, etc etc for minor repairs.
