I will do much of my viewing from my backyard but would still like the ability to cram it into my '85 Toyota Camry hatchback and head for some darker skies, so portability is pretty much essential.
Having said that, seems like the way to go is "as big as I can afford" and I think the Meades are definitely worth looking into. 16"? Whoa! That is BIG. Hmmmm
I'll be heading into Bintel Melbourne sometime very soon, so I can have a hands on look at everything... but I have a feeling I may be walking out of there with a 12".
Thanks everyone! Any more advice/experiences are much appreciated!
