Andrews has a north optics 150 mak, this baby is a real winner as it has a proper 2" SCT fitting and star diagonal that takes both 2" and 1.25" EP's. I took it to Astrofest and was easily able to do planetary imaging. I also have a 10" dob, and its on par visually, but the mak still wins out as it is able to do imaging on a motorized mount for less than $800 total cost including scope and mount gear motor etc.
