We had an old 12.5 inch CC at the Whakatane astro society ( North island NZ ) and while it was a bugger to collimate , most gave up but I persisted for weeks , back and forth between the primary and secondary but once it was on ,,, WOAW
this was a better planetary scope than the C14 in the main observatory .
Cant wait for a detailed viewing report , and thank's
that's all I need ,,,, a new Classical Cassegrain
8 inch in the scope room .. but then again the 6 inch is quite the bargain
