I agree - and if an eq8 can adequately hold its own with 16" - the weight and FL it really is the ultimate large aperture price/scope combo out there.

I don't mind tinkering with a newt but I feel a RC with possible issues is a bit out of my league/patience.

noticed this discounted 12" RC on bintel yesterday http://www.bintel.com.au/Telescopes/...oductview.aspx
