hey all!
i've just asked this question in the beginners spot, but now realised it probably belongs here...
i'm about to buy my second telescope after being fairly dissapointed with a 130mm reflector... so i'm looking at buying at least a 12" dosonian... maybe a 14"... but i wanted to know a few things first...
How big can i go before i start running into problems such as..not being able to fit it in my car?( i have a sedan {ea falcon})... can you take the tube off the mount easily, or do dob's have to generally stay assembled? what are the best brands to be looking at? and finally... whats a good price? i have around 3K to spend...
so if any of you wise astronomers have a spare moment... you would make me very happy if i could get some help! bring myself and a dobsonian together for our first embrace!
