An interesting thread Matt. I have my 16" Skywatcher Dob set up to wheel out .Hadn,t used it for a while so I rolled it out and viewed Omega Centauri I,ll keep it for another year.All my other scopes are converted in some way to image the Sun.
When I first purchased this scope I set it up and showed the kids the moon there reaction was ten fold that when compared to the smaller apertures.
I know as we age eyesight declines but with todays DSLRs the views are fantastic and you can always hook up a video camera when light pollution intervenes. As much as I enjoy all the electronically assisted Astronomy nothing quite beats trying to tease out the detail in a Galaxy as you return to it year after year.
Cheers
