Hi Guys,

I was considering buying Striker's 8" meade Schmit newt instead of the GSO 10" Dob which I have ordered.

What do you guys think?

To start with I will use the scope for mainly visual work and I hope to progress to a bit of imaging.

The main benifits I see to the meade are: Able to be easily EQ mounted, Beter built & is more suitable for imaging.

Benifits for Dob: More light grasp, comes as full kit with eyepieces, But not very suitable for imaging.

Also the dob is quite a bit cheaper.

I'm just a beginner so what does everyone think?

Cheers

Dave.

PS. I really need to know today because if I chose to go with the Meade I need to cancel my order for my dob.
