Hi, John. Thanks for the insight. I know I will probably eventually get something big, but transportability, set-up time and storage are problematic for me. Where are Zambuto mirrors made? (I remember reading about them somewhere, but I can't recall where - supposed to be excellent).Do they have their own telescopes too? I love the high contrast of refractors. The CPC Celestron 9.25" (a telescope I have used with students and which will get an airing this Friday) delivers delightful views of M42, Eta Carinae, etc, but it's like looking at a very dark blue sky, not a black one...
I guess all of this shows why so many amateur astronomers need both types of scope. Ah well. I feel so confused about it all, I am going to delay my decision for maybe a few months (maybe we'll have clear skies by then). Thanks again.
Cheers,
Richard
