But if you looking for a bigger “Go To” type scope the lx90 8” would be better.
I would steer away from that 10” lxd 75 the mount is way to small for such a scope.

I can see your 12” dob as big for a travel scope, but the 125 is ideal for that!

The ETX125PE is a fabulous scope but now having our 12" Dob we love the larger aperture. So we want something at least 8-10 ".

Thanks for your comments on the LXD75 10" maybe an 8" would satisfy us

We'll do some more homework before taking the plunge

Thanks
