I think all too many of you are getting carried away with "doom and gloom" hysteria here. Let's just get a little bit of perspective here.

And to add to what Rob has posted there, the difference between the 5" refractor and the 10" dob is a factor of 4 in the light gathering capability, so that the 10" will collect 4 times the light of...

Try this......take 6 or so 10 sec subs. That will give you the stars of the trapezium without burning them out. Then take 6 or so 3 minute shots of M42. Stack the 10 sec subs and the 3 minute subs...

It looks good just as it is. I sometimes get the impression that people labour under the premise that in order to get a great astropic, you need to take reams of subs for...

Well, Graham, they can be stopped in trying to take over the net via conniving or whatever. They rely on us for their bread and butter....and so do the politicians;):)

The thing with the LX80 mount is if you want to use it as a GEM, you can, because it can convert between alt-az and EQ modes.
