Hi all,
Looking at getting back into 'looking up' again after an extended period of absence due to raising my youngen's.
I had in mind one of these fast 8" or 10" f4 newts from GSO or SW.
Looks like cf is the way to go, but it seems GSO wont be releasing their version of the 10" any time soon :sadeyes:.
So I would like anyones real life experience or thoughts between these two.
Especially on quality and build differences.
1. GSO's 3" focuser vs SW 2"
2. GSO's primary cell vs SW - quality and build design if different.
3. Would GSO'2 10" with motor focuser be a better alternative than SW high priced 10" cf?
As there is only a few$$$ between the GSO and SW 8" but a huge gap between the 10", what would be the better (as in an 'all rounder' use) scope - 8" or 10".
I'd be looking at using an iEQ45 as my mount of choice, so the weight shouldn't be an issue.
Any thoughts and opinions are appreciated. :)
