I am interested in buying either a Celestron Super C8+ or a Meade
2080 LX3.  Can anyone (preferably someone who has used both) give
any information as to the quality of these two scopes?  Does one
scope out perform the other?  Is there the same clarity of image
in both?  Also, I plan on using the scope for astrophotography so
I would also appreciate any comments on whether on tripod will do
the job better than the other.

Thanks,
