I considered downsizing years ago as I was doing the backyard build or find a dark spot somewhere and setup every time.

When you have a large scope and mount and lots of accessories it gets tiresome and harder as you get older.

Buying my dark site property and building the observatory out there now means I dont have to worry about any of that now....all I have to worry about are my ageing eyes !! lol

I plan to build an additional larger observatory next to the current one so all of my scopes (or at least the main 2) are operational simultaneously.

In terms of preferential limits......6 inch refractor is the smallest I like to go (TOA150) anything smaller means I am compromising on my preferred visual experience.

I will have to investigate EAA and see where that is at now....but in earlier versions I wasn't happy with the results......perhaps someone can recommend some really good EAA gear for me to investigate?

Cheers!
