I have the Plettstone 15" f/5. It's a great scope. Initially I
expected my TV76 would get more use as a grab and go scope, but I
always want to use the Plettstone; even for short nights. It seems to
be fairly rigid. Let me know if you have any questions. Perhaps we
can meet up sometime if you want to check it out.
