OK thanks for more food for thought :-)
So regarding the refractors how would say the themoon, Jupiter and Saturn look compared to the 5" dob all other conditions being equal?
Also the 130 by 650 might have less mag but let's in more light - can this be made up for with a Barlow or narrower field of view eye piece?
I have looked second hand but I haven't seen much in my price range and with the brands/ models no longer around it's hard to know if their any good. I do like a warranty too. I will keep my eyes open though!
