G'day all. Have been happily peering through my 20 X 80 nokkies for about 12 months now but feel myself being gradually consumed by the irrational idea of buying a telescope. As I've been thinking about it for a while, I've come to the conclusion that a 10 or 12 inch dob would suit my purposes quite nicely. Given that the price difference between the two can be up to a couple of hundred dollars, my question is this - Does the extra money translate into measurably superior viewing? My gut feeling is to go with the 12 inch. Is that rational or is that just aperture envy? Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.
