Meade Starfinder 10" EQ
Star tests well at around 1/5th wave on the primary. decent contrast ( inside of the tube needs to be dealt with however ). Finder sucks. Focuser is usable with a few mods ( will be upgrading though ). Objective cell is excellent. Mount is plenty sturdy with damping times of 3-4 seconds. The tube straps need to be replaced or highly modified ( I chose to modify them using some vise-grips e-mail me if you wanna see it ). With a little work it is an excellent value.
