[QUOTE="Johnathan Aulabaugh, post: 39276, member: 7698"] hahaha yeah dont blame ya on that it is out of my price range to but it is a very impressive piece. You kind of have me lost here as the Vortex Razor HD is an impressive piece as well but the starting point for it is $2000and goes up from there. for the long lense your talking about a bushnell starting at $419 or the Shmidt Cassegrain that starts at $1800. Two pieces of equipment to do one job. thats a lot to pack out in the field along with any other equipment you have to haul. You could still get one of the other EDG non VR scoped for that price. Not to knock the Vortex Line. I tested there binos and really really like their HD stuff. IDk how good the telescope works for day time photography or if it is more suited to night photography. I shoot wildlife as my primary genre so when I say to get the EDG series it is strictly based on experience in the field with wildlife and not star seeking lol. My only complaint about Vortex is the fact they just stick their name on a manfrotto video head and call it their own lol. I actually have a "vortex" manfrotto video head and a vortex heavy duty tripod. not bad but heavy as hell. On the flip side if your star gazing the computerized telescope would be tight!!! [/QUOTE]
