Well after much research and discussion and questions I took the plunge and spent the whole tax return
A big thank you to all from this site who aided my decision
Brought home a Orion SkyQuest XT12g GoTo Dobsonian last Saturday
Gave it a big run last night as had nice clear skies NE of Melb
Easy 2 star alignment and I was away
Nice to have the luxury of tracking
Moon, Saturn and Venus all lovely
Very impressed , easy to operate , sorted a nice trolley to move in/out of house as she is a large beast.
No regrets and looking forward to many pleasant nights under the stars
Thanks to the boys at Bintel for the accurate measurements of the scope boxed up, I was able to fit all 3 boxes into my Hyundai Elantra hatchback
Mind you I had pulled out all the seats bar the drivers seat
The things you do to get these suckers home
