G'day, I have a 60mm no name refractor telescope that I have used intermittently for years, My wife and I recently did an astronomy tour in the Flinders Ranges with a 10 inch Dobsonian, We enjoyed this immensely and would like to upgrade.
If I stayed with a refractor, what size would give me the equivalent views to the 10 inch dobsonian?
Is there a brand I should avoid, I have seen a 10 inch dosonian for $799 it is a sky watcher brand.
Are celestron, sky watcher and meade all the same quality?
Peter
