To be honest, I wouldn't look at a DOB as long as there's flies inthe outback (but not for that reason)
They're long and bulky once you get over 6" - they seem to need more car space than my LX90 because the base is so big - the base is made of weetbix wood and is devoid of marking so you have to guess until you've made a circle gauge.
My SCT is F10 2000mm and, on a wedge, takes passable piccies which I can impress the rellies with. It guides well if it is set up properly.
It 'goes to' even when it is cloudy so I can do a cloud dodge night if I want to see something - impossible with a DOB.
But - there's always oneof them isn't there?... they are more expensive than a DOB - by quite a margin
