yep I know when I am beaten, the 12 is just that weee bit to heavy for the eq6, excellent visually but for imaging no way. And its not helping my back either. So i either keep the 12 and buy the next AP900 mount from Striker when he gets rid of it and gets the Hubble, or I look at downsizing so as to save my back a bit and still be able to image?
But I have a dilemma
, I love my 12"
, and I love the 8" SCT celestron and the 5" intes MC, and my ed80. So if I get a ten inch scope does that make it a full house? No seriously, I don't really want to part with any of them.
Now if I have the observatory up and running I can still keep the 12 for visual observations, and image on the EQ6 with the 10" (proposed) or keep the 8" SCT I have now. but the 8" is a beautiful Scope, and I love its portability and ease of use!
So either I sell the 12" and be done with it and get a 10" RC or a c11 or c9.25 celestron scope. What do I do?? I liked Strikers results he got from the RC but I also like the results obtained from the 9.25 celestron too. But that celestron scope is only 1.25" larger than the C8 I have now?
DO I go for the 10?????
Its all Paul and Dennis's fault too. They just go out and buy double stacked PST's and the like
