I owned a 16” GOTO SW dob....sold it a few months ago.

GOTO’s were spot on every time, tracking is excellent.

I used and would again use the ES HR coma corrector. It has a threaded top so fine focus is achievable without need for the focuser to be used. No need therefore to upgrade the focuser.....though I admit I put a feather touch as I used binoviewer’s and wanted a good focuser for that.

Assembly took 10 minuets tops with no isssues, everything fitted perfectly.

Yes I added a RACI finder to it for wide field views.....sold it with an 8x50 but I used a SV 60mm with Panoptic 24mm eyepiece...very nice.

Don’t know if going from 10” to 12” is a big jump...I went from 10 to 16 and there was a difference. FWIW the OOUK 10” for sale was the 10” I used for four years, and it’s a really good OTA....Refractor like views with a coma corrector.
