Thanks guys,
I took apart my 12" gso and have pretty much got to know that scope inside and out. Not much to them really. As for SDM... No offense, but the prices seem way over the top. I am after APP not ultra specs. Mabey GSO will eventually come out with A 20" mirror.
I was checking out Orion just the other night in my don with a 19mm flat field & WOW!!!!!! The texture was amazing. I also found other other but smaller targets from my light pollouted yard but still gob smacked!
Yes, I am hooked on APP...what will $3000.00 get me in the way a mirror only? Bintel are selling the 16" light bridge for more than $3000.00!!! Seems a bit over the top as well. I figure I could spend that on primary mirror alone and now that I feel confident after pulling the GSO apart...I'll build my own "SDM...if you will...for LESS than the asking price. Sure it won't have the latest and greatest techy specs or quality & finish...but I'll still have a monster scope. Well that's the line of thinking this far.
Later...will ring Sydney Tommorow on mY break
Thanks again.
Dave
