Thanks guys, man I love this community!
After ruling out the DOB earlier this month, I know thinks it's simply my best option. Photography if something I want to try but hey it's early days in the hobby and would have years to build up the necessary equipment to do this. Unless there's a magic bullet i've missed of course.
So the 8 inch or even a 10 inch (Wow!) Dob with a savings account for an EQ6 is the G.O. But still open to anyone's advice.
Considering that upgrade plan, what should be factored in when choosing a Dob guys? I suppose weight would want to be as lean as possible. Which Dobs?
I just got a quote from Astro-Optical for $599 for the 8inch Saxon/Bower, $899 for the 10inch. Does anyone know how these compare to say the Meade lightbridge or the GSO?
thanks again guys!
