[quote:Anonymous Coward 4436859:MV8xOTc4NDg3XzMzMjI5MDk4XzJDRUI5MTY4] http://www.telescope.com/ I am not sure if you know what you are talking about with price. http://www.scopecity.com/ Just a couple of places, since mirrors are made in China, Russia, or probably the higher priced ones in Japan. If you have an American do it then you will pay the price, but it may turn out better. http://www.parksoptical.com/ http://www.obsessiontelescopes.com/ Just a few with the last one American made. Also there is Meade Telescopes made probably now in Mexico http://www.meade.com/ Afterall Trinity (owner of this forum) bought a $35000 20" Meade on a Monster Mount (Catrioptic - Cassegrain type) and some solar telescopes and another one I forget what that is though. Just a few. [/quote]

I am currently on my way to getting a B.S. in Astronomy with a minor in physics at TCU. I am really interested in getting a good telescope however I am not sure which way to go... Any information would be great! Thanks in advance!
