Okay, after months of asking and reading on this forum, I am starting to narrow it down to a C 130 or C5. Mostly for 70% terrestial daytime with 30% sky gazing. Does anyone know if both of these new models are made in China? Thanks for the help.

Hi

Either will work, though both are made in China. Persoanlly, I give a slight edge to the C5, optically.

Hi Joanie,
Thanks so much for your patient tutoring on all my questions. I wanted to insure that my money was spent correctly and you gave me great advice based on my priorities. I have ordered your C 130 package which includes the Celestron heavy duty tripod. I hear you about the C5's slight edge, but this 130 package was too good to pass up. I'll keep you informed when it arrives. Ruth said it may have even been shipped out today. Again, many thanks, Bruce G
