Hi All,
Some very good advice,to take on board.
TONY,
I can see your reasoning for an EQ5,if using camera gear etc,but as the others have said not really grab and go,which is what I really am looking for,I do take some pictures but only with a cheap digital camera Afocal style.
DARREN,
Your comments re bright and large objects looking good seem to fit the bill nicely,I do enjoy looking at the Moon And Planets,as well as DSO,S I think
GEOFFS
comments is 80mm big enough,is something to seriously think about,that is very important as I would hate to buy something I would be sorely dissapointed with,Although some of the reviews I have read re this scope seem to suggest it does give some very nice views of all types of objects.
I would dearly love an 8" dob,but it has often been said, the best scope you have is the one you use most often,so Although I have days when mobility is ok,they are not often,which means an 8" dob would spend most of its life inside,
LOUIE,S
idea re an alt az mount sounds the most promising,and I must admit I didn,t think of it at all,it would certainly fit the bill re weight and moveability.
Once again I thank you all.
Regards.John
