I'm very pleased at how sharp I've been able to get shots with the Meade scope. It's touchy as hell of course, needs a tune-up, what can I say, it's a beast. With the Pentax K-x however, you can hit this little LV button which puts things on screen, then you hit the info button a few times which zooms it in, and then you can try to tighten it right up. Here's the main reason I posted this pic... So that I could toss in a link to this YouTube vid of the young-un in the nest, also taken with the Meade. Sweet!

On the other hand... I DO expect to get nice sharp pics from my b-day toy that just arrived yesterday, this nice little 500mm reflector. So far, very nice, very LIGHT!
Very bad bokeh, dougnut-shaped.
I don´t like fixed-aperture-lenses cause its hard to control shutter-speed.
Optical quality is "okay" but nothing near a 70-200F2,8.
