Sorry if this has been discussed before .. I've been away from the hobby for
a bit ..

I've just heard that Meade is making truss tube dobs. Are they out and
shipping, or just "on order". If they are out .. what is the verdict. I am
*very* interested in getting a 10" or 12".

They're pretty good. I have a 12" and highly recommend them. Great value
for the dollar...

There have been several threads about them in the last couple weeks on
SAA...

Check them out...

There is also a Yahoo group dedicated to these scopes, with everything you
could ever want to know about them...

No reason to detail this all over AGAIN...
