Confession time I have a small family of Celestron SCTs. Yeah yeah, I know what everyone says about 'em, but for me they're a good compromise between aperture and portability. It started off with the C6, then I wanted more light grasp and got the C8. Then in a moment of madness/frivolity, a C11 Edge HD joined the family (I think the 8 is my favourite but don't tell the 11!)

Loving the views with them here in Oz though and so far I haven't suffered with dew anything like back "home" where dew management was mandatory, I think I've only used the dew shield once since I've been here. It'll be interested to see how it is over the summer months.

Anyhow, until there's a nice big 18-20" Dob with a lightweight mirror (that I can afford!) they'll have to do
