Interesting Apertura CS150 telescope, how are your impressions, collimation? Is it possible to achieve perfect stars? And where can I buy it? I haven't seen it in our local stores.

The tube is excellent, holds collimation rock-solid, I take it out on rough terrain. I like the stars, but you can't properly collimate it with a laser and a Cheshire at f/4.
Unfortunately, it's only sold at High Point Scientific.
