recommend it strongly,

even my family enjoyed it and would be happy to go back any time.

What you do need to be aware of though is that the imaging set up is too complicated for you to start using in one night or probably even a weekend, so you do need Zane's help, but he is great and willing to stay up all hours with you. (unless of course you are already an expert CCD user and know CCD Soft which is the software he uses)

For imaging there really is only one option, the apo.

set up autoguiding with the apo,which is piggy backed on his Lx 200 and while it is doing it's thing use the 18 inch for visual observing-once its set up you dont need to baby sit it

Pick your targets in advance
and enjoy!
