Re: which telescope do i need?

A google check on this Seben scope shows what appear to be a Jones-Bird compact Newtonian with Barlow like lens near eyepiece to correct for the simple spherical primary mirror. The design can work but I've yet to see a good commercial version.

I own a Meade DS-2114s [of similar design] that I've converted to an astro-camera to good effect at wpo - my Lensless Schmidt Camera
but that doesn't help the initial poster
