China is kicking ass with inexpensive high quality consumer telescopes and equipment. Two huge American companies went under and now China owns the market but they're putting out some really revolutionary imaging stuff and decent telescopes for half the price...a quarter. It reminds me of when I was a kid. "Made in Japan" was kind of a joke. It was like "Made in China" now. And now made in Japan is elite quality and engineering. Perhaps it was the radiation what done it.
