Newtonian drawbacks?
So this may be incorrect, but it feels like most of the best deep sky images I've seen come from newts. Is this just because they are more prevalent and cheaper? Or am I just plain wrong?
I'm also wondering what the drawbacks are, as far as I can tell the mains issues seem to be:
-Size makes wind your greatest enemy, and tracking difficult
-Coma, but can be fixed with a coma corrector
The reason I'm asking about all this is that I'm looking to sell my 12 inch dob and replace it with a 12 inch newt that fits on my Alt-Az mount. I'll save a bunch of money, and now I'm also wondering how well it'll double for astrophotography.
Cheers!
