thanks for the feedback, guys. I've read and re-read your posts. It seems that bigger is always better and maybe I should reach for a 6" over the 5". (Sorry for being an oldie and using the old measure).
So perhaps I can consider the Santel or look at the Celestron OTA. More research I feel.
To a large degree I am buying from the perspective of price/size and then going - "lets see what we can see with this" - if you get my drift. But I think that is fine for me as I've not observed much lately and the rest of the family not at all.
