[QUOTE="Glassman, post: 39280, member: 4184"] True the Vortex isn't cheap either. But I can get the complete package (spotter, eye piece, and camera adaptor) for under $2500 where as the Nikon EDG is going to put me in the $4200-$4400 price range. As for Vortex I understand what you are saying about the company but I love the CS they offer and the glass quality they offer isn't bad. As for the telescope I was thinking more along the lines of a Celestron NexStar in either 6 or 8 inch diameter. It's primary job will be Astrophotography but on rare occasions I might try to use it for some very select terrestrial imaging, both day and night. It is not a piece of kit that I'd want to lug around all the time or something that I'm looking to carry very far. But it is something I could allow for the ability to get some photos that I'd otherwise be able to get. [/QUOTE]
