Thanks for the info. Guess I shouldn’t splurge out in the event that I get bored and only use the scope a few times *doubt that will happen. Didn’t really consider a dob as the price was much cheaper than the rest, dunno why but I always seem to associate price with quality, which from what I can see isn’t always the case. After doing some reading it seems dob’s are great value for money, but are they easy to assemble and would it withstand being taken apart and re assembled every time I needed to use it? as there are quite a few steps in my garden and I wouldn’t be able to carry the entire assembled unit up the steps

If not what’s the other option? Ideally I’d like to spend up to $3000 but that can be stretched to $4000 if need be. I’d prefer to go all out now instead of buying an entry level scope then upgrading in 6months

I’m leaning towards the skywatcher PRO ED 100. I know the lenses are pretty good, but would I be limiting myself in terms of what I can see with this scope when compared to a 12inch dob?
