Oh. Don't know about that, the views through the 14" are visibly
better than the Ten. I suppose that's not in dispute. But the Wow factor? Well it has not worn off on me yet. Every trip to the dark there is always something faint made visible by the big dob that makes you go : WOW!
And that's why I'm always happy to go through The Ritual :disassembly, packing, drive, unpacking, reassembly....
every time I go to a dark sight.
Having said that, the Ten was awesome last night. It takes no effort to get it out on the hand trolley (see pic) do a quick look at Jupiter and then run back inside when the drizzle comes.
The attached picture was taken while writing this post. I'm not exaggerating, it took all of 3 minutes to get the dob out to my northern vantage point, iPad in one hand I might add, take the photo and then drag the scope back inside.
So, you can't lose Steve.
P.s. Alan, Raymo, Thank you for the kind words.
