Also, would it be worth just getting a Newtonian reflector with an EQ mount instead of a Dobsonian? Can anyone tell me the difference or what pros and cons come with the first?
Or, (and I am considering this) would it be worth building my own as I definitely have the means to do so. Does it lower the quality because it's a simple DIY project? (many of my friend's say it would but then again, they don't know what Polaris is soooo....)
Cheers and thanks again for the great advice.
