I understand that. However, when sky is good, obviously the large one would be beautiful to look through?

I think I will start with a 12" (so I dont have to start on something that requires ladders etc) - having a solid 12" tube or Truss Rod style 12" does it make a difference in terms of quality etc of viewing or identical?

Now just one question regarding my friends scope.

He told me he has an eyepiece that allows him with a Barlow to get 250x magnification and Mars is a 'little red dot in the sky'.

What does he need to get this more visible like a planet (size of our former 1 cent coins) rather than a Dot...
