Sounds like you have yourself well trained.

Something about your comment of 12" on the Eq6 reminded me of a question; I have seen a Skywatcher Promak 150 Maksutov Cassegrain 150mm OTA only for about $600, would this leave my 130mm for dead in terms of being able to resolve things and be used for higher quality imaging? Also, do you think it would be able to sit on my EQ2 medium duty mount when they are both Skywatcher kit?

Obviously its not much of an aperture upgrade, but the better quality optics of my new 12.5mm ep have got me thinking.....and the fact that a lot of people have refractors which are hi quality.

Also, perhaps the $600 could be better spent on a 8-12 inch dob?

So, three questions, sorry, feel free to bump it to equipment discussions if needed.

Better to ask these questions in a new thread, Chris.

You'll get a better variety of responses.
