Thats true Glen ; had one of these very underrated 10" F/4 , definitely needs an extension..30mm to 50mm about for eyepieces.

Rather simple.

Pros of Refractor:
* crisper images due to lack of central obstruction (particularly ED / APO)
* allows lower magnification at same aperture for wide fields because f/ratio is usually lower (particularly ED / APO)
* no collimation duty which is even more difficult than a Newton / Dobson

Pros of SCT:
* More aperture for money
* More aperture for weight
* No color errors (CA) (while an APO also has negligible CA).

Make your choice.
