The FOV of the WO71 is about the same as my shorty ED80 with focal reducer (takes the FL down to about 350mm at F4.4). Except for a hand full of objects and the rare large comet, it's too wide. I even crave more FL than what my 8" F4 gives me. Most galaxies are still small.

Anyway Matt wants us to throw him in the deep end. Hey Matt, there's still the nice big 10 inch over at the deep end. Can we experiment on you? I'm curious if a keen newbie could take on a 10". How badly could it possibly end?
