Default Hardin Optical

hey
Does anyone know about Hardin Optical? I am interested in their DSH-10. It looks good. However, I am wondering if anyone out there has any direct experience with is and can vouch for its quality.
Thanks

I own the 8". IMHO it is a very good deal. In my eyes it is almost an exact copy of the Orion XT's. I was looking at the 10" when I got my 8" but I could find noone that had them in stock. Still the 8" has more than enough light gathering power to keep my happy with the fuzzies. As a plus to getting the 8" I can fit it in my car. No need to barrow my father's truck if I feel like heading for realy dark skys.

I'm very seriously looking at a DSH 10" - I saw a few at a local shop in south western Washington state. They look like a great scope and probably better than a Celestron. Try the cloudy nites forum -- seems to be several Hardin owners there

good luck
