Thanks Guys,
You're right Ving but as Chris mentioned the central obstruction in the MAK is smaller so that makes up for a bit of the aperture loss I imagine.
Paul, we intend to use the scope for planetary (especially for my wife) and stars and clusters etc. for me as well. As you can see I'm trying to cover as much as possible with one scope that allows us to take it around as well. Oh and we don't intend to get into imaging.
Thanks for the invite Chris, but I'm not sure yet if I will be attending Snake Valley. You are the first person in IIS with a ProMAk 180 (if I remember well). How happy are you with the ProMAK and what are some of the pros and cons in your opinion (would really like to hear more about it).
btw
I had my first viewing on Friday at an Astro Club and really enjoyed seeing a lot more than I do through my 7x50 monocular. Unfortunately there were only Dobsonians there that night but it was great.
Regards
Henri
