Thanks John for your sensible advice. I believe that the twin 12" bino's will satisfy my aperture requirements for purely visual work, and after looking through the little 66mm refractor over the past few nights I've pretty much decided that refractors are the way to go for me for photography and general planetary viewing. The 66mm shows Jupiter and Saturn at the moment as brilliantly-focussed orbs... simply fantastic... but very small. A larger scope will be great. And you're right - I love the quality of build in the William Optics fluorite APO, and as an instrument it will last for many satisfying years.

Cheers John - I'll think about swapping the two now.

Chris
