Refractors are really versatile in that they can be used for both wide field and planetary viewing but when it comes to the planets, nothing beats raw resolution that a larger well made mirror can provide.

A TOA-150 will require a hefty mount to hold it, they’re seriously heavy and tank like! A better quality 16” dob with a smooth primary and secondary will leave any refractor dead.
