Greetings Allan,
You have a nice setup there. My comments:
... It's a TeleVue NP101is on a Discmounts DM4. I used an Orion Atlas tripod with the 8" extender to help clear the tripod legs. ...
Very very nice telescope and eyepiece combination the views will be pristine.
... Total weight comes in at 21kg, so still light enough for me to move the setup outside without any trouble ...
Weight matters. I got rid of a scope because of weight issues. 21kg is is just over the weight of a jerry can full of water not light!!
.. outside of the narrower field in my Dob. So I am quite pleased with how the Dob and Refractor complement each other ...
Wide angle views in that refractor of yours would be "something" with excellent contrast. i also have a dob ( Skywatcher 10" goto dob). These dobs are perfect as a grab and go scope and so easy to setup and use.
Clear skies,
Jerry.
