thanks jase
couple of questions for anyone
I see reports on CN forums of guys with the 10" and 11" SCT's saying that most of the year they get fairly soft observing results, and there are only a few nights of the year when they get really sharp results.
Do you think this is because they live in pretty poor areas lightwise? I live about 45km from the city and there isn't a massive amount of light pollution where I live, I can clearly see the band of the milky way, and most stars are bright. actually late at night I couldnt even count how many stars I can see. You think a 10/11" would be ok in these sort of conditions?
cheers
