Planetary scope advice...
I currently use an ED120 refractor for planetary visual & imaging, but I'm considering an upgrade to see/capture more detail. I dream about Marcus' TOA-150 in the classifieds, but I would need a new mount...and a pay rise!
I've read some good things about Intes Micro 715 F/15 Mak, particularly the Deluxe II version with 1/10 wavefront. A 7" scope would fit comfortably on my mounts, plus I don't think my seeing warrants much bigger aperture.
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with Intes Maks, or have an opinion if they are worth the high price tag (for a Mak)? The 715 Deluxe II is twice the price of a new Tak Mewlon 180c which although differs in being F/12 Dall-Kirkham is a similar aperture & weight.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated - I've only ever owned refractors, so I'm not even sure I will see much more than with my ED120.
Thanks!
