Hi All,
Thought I would guage some opinions on this...
I have a 10" dob and am considering adding argo navis and an EQ platform or EQ6 perhaps. However, I am wondering whether instead I should grab a larger GSO 16" dob..?
Reason being - I can't see myself getting into astrophotography for quite a few years - and I at the moment I mostly view DSOs at medium to low powers.. the larger aperture of the 16" would be great for this and tracking isn't such an issue at these mags correct?
Currently I am using a laptop and analog setting circles + a digital inclinometer to find objects which is PRETTY good but obviously not great.
Would I be better off going for the larger aperture given my viewing preferences, or spending that money on argo navis + an EQ platform/EQ6 which would allow higher mags + more eypiece time to view the (dimmer) objects?
Of course I would like to buy both, but this beggar can't be too choosy
any opinions on the advantages/shortcomings of each? Its a question of how much I am willing to spend on this hobby, rather than how long I am willing to wait/save so it's one or the other.
