Hi all. I have a chance of picking up a Starmax 127 OTA for $295. Is that a good price? Can one use 2" eyepieces and diagonals with the Starmax 127?? Thanks,...
I think the price is fine. No you can not use 2" accessories you are limited to 1.25 . I like to use my MaxView 40mm on mine. If someone has a 1.25 to a 2"...

I have not "noticed" this type of distortion. Have you tried re-focusing the finder? And let's not forget - we are talking about a item that retails for...
