From a visual performance perspective.....well...

I raised this issue in another thread with conflicting results. I played the devils advocate and tried to suggest that optical quality was not so important for planatary imaging . I've been assured that quality Newtonians are superior particularly with Powermate amplification. SCT's have a clear superiority in terms of portability though at 10" or above size this would be marginal.
Its a shame there are no locally produced high quality solid Newtonian tube assemblies made in Australia. With the relatively low cost of EQ6 mounts there would seem to be a ready made market.
