    Greetings from Switzerland. Having bought an used Optolyth TBS 100 recently, but mainly for astronomical use, I have to adjust some statements made and revive this thread. With my decision I also relied on the nice work of @DRodrigues on pt-ducks: http://www.pt-ducks.com/cr-telescopes.htm that...
