Who's using a Newt?
Am deliberating over a 'serious' scope, and have been mainly comparing 4-5" refractors or 8-10" SCTs. However, I'm curious about how many are using equatorially mounted Newtonians?
In particular, anyone have any experience of the Skywatcher Newts? Kinda thinking about the 8" model on HEQ5 with SynScan.
Main interests are comets and deep sky, but I also want decent (and bright) views of the planets. How does the contrast of a Newt compare with an SCT?
