Tested the Celestron C90 today which has been out of stock for sometime. After yesterday's pleasant surprise with the Celestron Refractor ED 80mm, have to say this time I was disappointed. Part of the problem is that I remember the old pre-Chinese version of the C90. As Maks go, that was a pretty decent telescope.
Well, have to say the new version is not quite up to the old version. The current C90 tested no better than any other Chinese scope in the $200 range, which is to say, several cuts below the Meade ETX or LOMO 95. Of course, the current C90 is much cheaper than either, so no one is getting robbed.
