12

I'm in Perth,

My instruments are a 12" goto dob and a 4" apo refractor.

Though the refractor cost me three times as much as the 12", on every single object except widefield stuff like the Pleiades and the Magellanic Clouds the 12" just blows it away. The dob even beats the expensive Televue refractor on planetary detail. Aperture matters!

If you'd like to compare I could meet you at AGWA's observatory in Chittering some time and I'll show you the sky through both scopes (bring your own as well) so you can compare. You can come as my guest.
