Rocket Boy and Gary, thank you very much for the excellent information. I guess what I'm trying to do is to compare the cost outlay of a C11 (GT, EQ mount), versus a 16" LB with Argro Navis, encoder kit, EQ platform and drive system. Forget the aperture difference. I know there is no comparison there. I'm more looking at the price factor. Is there anyone here who have added all this to a Meade LB? I'd love to hear more stories and opinions on whether someone has already done what I've proposing.
Gary, you mentioned a EQ table on a dobsonian to provide RA tracking. Naturally, this table is adjusted for your latitude (-37 etc...), I assume there is no issues with the primary mirror box "falling" out of the DEC bearing mount at that angle?
I will look more in depth at you site, Gary, and the StellarCat products. I might shoot off an email to you when decision day gets closer (hopefully by the end of the year).
I guess the next natural question is, if I have a dodsonian set up with all these extras, I'm pretty right for CCD imaging then?
Again thanks for your assistance,
hoo roo
Steve
