Comments about Celestron Omni XLT 102ED Refractor Telescope:

If you are looking to get apochromatic quality without paying thousands, this is a great buy. I saw reviews of this scope elsewhere and it appears to hold up well against other expensive apo refractors. Compared to my 6" reflector, it performs better on stars and planets. Stars are pinpoints and Jupiter detail was noticeably sharper. This refractor more easily split the double double in Lyra. I notice no color fringing on Jupiter or bright stars at 150x. Noticed a yellow fringe on the limb of the gibbous moon, but it was barely visible. My reflector does better on dim objects. I could see a greater extent of Andromeda with my reflector. Mount is stable and well constructed. The only negative is the finder scope. You'll definitely want a finder scope with a diagonal or a reflex sight. The included plossl eyepiece is par for the course. Overall, I'm extremely happy with this purchase. Highly recommended.
