10" premium or 12-14" SW Newt?
Not sure what to title this...
Currently I have a very very nice 10" Orion Optics UK f4.8 Newt OTA. I used to have it on an NEQ6 which was great, except for the eyepiece positions, as everyone knows can get tricky.
What to do with the OTA.
1. Turn it into a Dob with an ATM base
2. Sell it and get a SW 12-14" dob, possibly a GOTO version.
The other question I'm thinking on... is a 10" premium mirror (and this one is good) better than an average SW 12-14" mirror for visual?
Thoughts anyone?
My other scope is a 6" f12 Istar refractor. The 10" is very similiar in views on Planets and pulls ahead on dimmer DSO's, but not by a huge amount.
Decisions decisions.
