hi everyone,
im considering upgrading my telescope, but i don't know whether to go for large aperature
or portabillity. i often go camping in places with very dark skies, infact i spend most weekends on a large property in central victoria.
i was thinking of a bintel 10" dobsonian to take advantage of the dark skies, but it will be a little harder to transport (we ussually travel with a trailer or caravan, but would that be a safe place for a telescope at 100kmh ?)
i currently own a 127mm EQ reflector of very low quility, so i started by just looking for a good quality replacement (125/130mm), but since a good replacement will cost around $600-$700, i thought it would be better to buy a dobsonian or something, but i really can't decide.
i can spend up to $700, but less would be better. i live in geelong, so any recomendations would need to be available in melbourne.
thanks, jarrod.
