Thanks Adrian and Joe,
Yes, portability is very important. I live near Perth Airport, so travelling to dark site and ability to fit scope in my Corolla wagon is a must.
Availability is another issue, scopes are advertised but they don’t have them in shops. Would have to put deposit and wait.
You raised good point about how high the eyepiece will be on those big Dobs. I have seen some nice solutions on YouTube. I could make it myself.
Thinking about it too much and it’s a lot of money as well.
Maybe I shouldn’t make big jump from 12” I used to have to 20”
I could get 16” Meade Lightbridge that is advertised for $2,500 here in Perth.
It’s portable, base would fit in my car without dismantling it, and there is no need for steps or ladder to rich eyepiece.
Cheers
Bob
