Hello folks,
My very first post ... abs newbee & have been googling & reading furiously for my first scope selection. Have finally narrowed it down to an 8" dob!
The question is .... do I go for a solid tube one or a Meade lightbridge? I am aware of the price difference, but am not sure about the pro & cons relating to the following points ...
1) performance in terms of image clarity, brightness etc.
2) collimation frequency
3) risk of mirror & other internals getting soiled/damaged
4) any other points
Have seen the 8" Standard Meade LB being advertised for $799 (Sydney) - any better deals around?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
