I am asking the question because I put a chip in the lens of my 1200 F8 achromatic. The chip is covered by a 4 inch aperture mask which I always use for the moon and planets. I need another full aperture scope for my dark site. The 1200mm refractor is a beast to break down at 2:00am in 30 degree weather. So I am thinking for my two hour drive away dark site I would use a Dob and the large refractor at home. One of the scopes I am considering is the Skywatcher 150mm Heritage. Not a lot of aperture but very much within my budget. Besides my dark site is most likely a Bortle 3.5 which is very dark. I have an AZ4 mount with a lite tripod that I could put the Heritage Dob on. Your thoughts on the 150mm Heritage. Thanks to you all.
