wow, that's pretty stunning!
So argue with me fellas:
Why would a newb like me spend a grand on a 12" dob when I could get me this stunning piece of work?
Ok, apature obviously, I'm guessing faint DSOs would be easier to see in the 12" but seriously, this thing would out-perform the dob on the more bright objects wouldn't it? Sharpness of image and contrast I'm guessing? There are still hundreds of 'brightish' obects, am I right?
Ok, maybe the mount too, who knows what you get in the andrew's deal but probably wouldn't be crash hot, so there'd be a cost involved in upgrading if that part is lacking... Ok, and EPs, would you even get one? There'd be a few hundred bucks to get a couple of EPs... Ok, I think I've mostly figured it out.. Anyone want to add more??
Would I be correct in thinking that well looked after this would have a pretty decent resale value too?
