Cheers David and Richard. Sounds like the cheap Newt is out then. Nice one.
Would the Newt, with 130mm, give better views overall than the 102mm Refractor?
The option of the better Newt as a more substantial option (when it can fit in the car around the kids surfboards) and then my ST80 as a super portable moon gazer is not a bad combination perhaps.
How hard is collimation? That doesn't sound like something I'm going to want to do while I am on holiday (ha). So in that respect perhaps it would be better to get the 102mm for a more substantial option with the ST80 shorty as the super portable.
Hard to decide really. I guess it still comes down to how much better the Newt would be over the 102mm in terms of actual visual view of Jupiter/Saturn. Is it a significant difference between the views (all other considerations aside)
