This is once in life time opportunity, for me anyway, to buy such a big scope.
I wanted to buy 16” $6000 and was showing it to my wife and how it would be impossible to fit the base (unless dismantled) into my Corolla station wagon. And the price is a bit too high as well.

Then I showed her 20” $12000 and how nice and portable that one is. She said: “Well get that one then” WOW!

Now I am thinking every day about it with a lot of questions in my mind. Should I buy it, or is there something better and not costing so much?
Your suggestions and opinions are welcome!

I used to have 8” Dob, sold it and got Bintel 12” Dob. Loved it, especially for deep sky observing. Then looked through 16” Meade Lightbridge and was blown away.
Then I cooled down, sold my 12” Dob and bought early 8” NexStar Celestron for planets mainly.
Now I got again very interested in deep sky observing and 8” simply can’t give me views that I used to see with 12” Dob.

Cheers
