I have found Baytronix at a few stores like Amazon.com and a few other stores where they link to Amazon. I believe it may just be a new company or it could be...
I have purchased the 6" you are referring to off ebay and I paid 250 Can total with shipping. I admit it is a no name but I have yet to have any complaints. I...
Hi Drew, Before you decide to buy one of these, I would check to make sure that you can return it for exchange or refund in case that you're not satisfied, for...
Drew, I would be careful. There is at least one trash brand name (Orbitor) making this type of scope. They look good from about 10 feet away but are very...
Drew, I also meant to say that a bad performing 6" or 8" scope will be a **far worse** thing to have than a well-made 4.5" or even 3" telescope. Just another...

Drew, I'd suggest that you avoid both of those scopes that you pointed out on ebay. For one, they are very likely grey market items with no real warranty....

Hey Pierre, How would I verify if the scope has the integral Barlow? The scope I brought last week was one of the 6" Baytronix scopes and I'm curious to know...
Guess I'll look tonight. Gonna help answer a lot of questions. ... From: meteorshowersca [mailto:meteorshowersca@...] Sent: December 1, 2004 12:18 PM To:...
Francois, I am assuming that both of the telescopes that Drew pointed out in the ebay ads have integral barlow lenses (inside the focuser tubes) because the...
I am fairly certain there is no lense in the focuser but will be able to confirm when I get home tonight. My scope does need to be colliminated as proven...
Francois, Perhaps you bought a traditional Newt from the same seller; can't say without seeing it. The 6" (150mm) scope that Drew pointed out however must...
I can't wait to hear about your experience with your scope Francois. Any details you can provide about that 6" would be great. I'd really like to know as much...
Does anyone have any info on the new Meade Series 5000 Ultrawide eyepieces? I am considering the 30mm ep vs. the Nagler 31, but would like to know the weight...
I'm going to speak to some of the members here in MTL and see if we cant make a decent review of the 6" I have. To be honest if it is a good scope at the price...

Ok I looked at the scope and much to my surprise there is indeed a relay lense in the focuser. So that ends that debate. Rock you mentionned not recommended....
