Hey guys,
The reason why I want t change scopes is that I'm finding less and less time for observing (I'm doing my HSC at the moment) and I need something that is just a plonk and go scope that requires little maintenance, that's why I was looking at those particular scopes.
I never doubted the capabilities of the 10" Dob, I have always thought of it as an excellent piece of equipment, but it's not the right scope for me. I'm sure a lot of you would agree that the best scope is the one that you use the most rather than one that gathers dust and is only used rarely.
In response to iceman, I only plan to use it for astronomy and not terrestrial. I guess I just want a mount that simple and easy to use without compensating stability.
I looked at the SW ED80 from Andrews for $499 but found out it comes with no finderscope or diagonal, and $700-$800 for the complete OTA was a bit out of my price range.
