which would you guys recommend to purchase, they are both about the same price at costco and sams club. Which give you the better image quality and so on. Any...
Neither really. Both are decent scopes as far as goto(if they have the Autostar 497) but they are cheaply made. If you can save up for a better scope I would...
Great, I really appreciate your reponce, I will save up more money for a better one. They are both around $200 at Costco and Sams, but I think I should save...
Gabe, If you do some research you can find an 8" Dobsonian scope for right around $200. Try Orion's website first as the intelliscope, while costing a little...
