hm, i guess those emails i keep getting are true regarding a couple extra inches.
i wasnt looking to buy right away, i figured the filters would give my dob a new lease on life and keep me going for a while longer yet. I figured i should start gathering as much information as i could on the direction i wanted to go, there doesnt seem to be much of a resource for observers compared to imagers where what you see is what you get if that makes sense. going along to an astro night seems like a good idea till you realise that your pretty much seeing the scope under ideal conditions if your at a dark site which isnt really representitive of the run of the mill backyard, not that its a bad thing to know what your instrument is capable of, just that my observing will be carried out from my back yard alone.
right at the moment id say the best thing i could buy would be a bb gun to sort out the neighbours light that appears to have a telescope sensor. i swear as soon as im about to sit down to observe they turn it on...
