I started out with a 10" LX50. Tried to do astrophotography with mediocre sucess due to the RA drive. Eventually shifted the OTA to a Losmandy mount and still have it. Looking for a good portable set up, I bought a 4" achro 500mm refractor, a 5" achro 1200mm refractor and 5" Mak (all Synta). Still have the 4" - others sold as I then got an old orange 8" celestron SCT that I refurbished and put on HEQ5-Pro mount. This is my most used scope but when I want to get serious the 10" has superb optics and the G11 makes it a joy to use. Then I wonder why I have the 8". But recently I looked through a 22" Dobsonian.................Me want!!!!!!

Allan
