I'm happy with my lot
The 12" Parks has served me well. Simple to setup and use.
It's been basically faultless, given me great views and has never been a money pit.
EDIT: When I bought the dob I had a couple of choices
1.... Did I want the 12" F5 dob or the 6" F10 refractor (or both) the old chap had to offer ? Same price!!!!
2.... Did I want the 2" focuser and 2 eps or the 1.25" focuser and 4 eps ?
Knowing what I know now I should have at least grabbed the original 2" focuser for the dob.
But for the price he was asking I should have grabbed BOTH
