   While I love the Traveler, I would recommend the HD145 by a long shot.  
More aperture and perfect optics.  Peter is a demon for quality control and 
an excellent astrophotgrapher.  Observing with the HD216 was the first time 
that I would consider upgrading to a reflecting scope from an apo refractor. 
 Peter makes a photo scope and a visual scope, so be clear on what you want 
when you order.
   Clear skies!
