Hi Ausastronomer,All that you have suggested is exactly what will happen and precisely what I found out on the testing night. The 10 was the best allrounder on the evening. The 8 goes next week. The seeing between the 10 and 12 was more of a difference than anyone present had imagined. As it will be very much an allrounder scope, the planetary use does come into consideration. Also much longer cooling time on the 12. I rang the owner of the 12 to tell him of the spring solution from the the members of the Forum, and while he was greateful, he was quite upset at the performance differences 10vs12. He is definately considering selling his 12 and buying the 10. When Astronut places his modifications on the thread, I will be following them to create my own LB 10 superscope.The Obsession, even though in a league of it's own, was a hassle to use in just about every way, and cured me permanently of any future aperture fever. Stunning vistas, but so they should be for the money. The set up was not as easy as the LB's, as one should realise. The amazing thing was, it got the least use of any scope there, including the 8. Go figure. I am most likely missing the point though...Cheers,Stellarquest
