Thanks Astro_Nutt. I did consider a tracking platform at some stage, but my understanding is that they may be quite difficult to get in Australia.
Thanks Ray. This looks like sound advice. If you remember from my previous post, I wanted to go for the 12". But even the 10" might be touch and go for DSO on this mount.
What is important, as everyone keep saying, is the mount. Short of the EQ8, which is too expensive for me, I have settled for the AZ EQ6. The scope is secondary. The 8" will be fine for lunar.
Now the question is should I get the standard 8" or the CF one? Is there much difference really?
Cheers,
Eric
