Eric - Worth the extra $190 is a good question. I hope I can answer that when I go down to bintel to have a look in the next few days. Knowing myself I probably will end up picking up bits and pieces anyway and it will work out more expensive in the longer term if i took the skywatcher

Is there a advantage or disadvantage of the 2" EP over the 1.25" EP?

Brendan - Thanks for the advise. I'll need to take a look at the 10inch again, my initial thoughts were "woah! BIG!", I won't even tell you my reaction to the 12inch next to it!

Chris - Does the low profile crayford affect normal viewing? Does it absolutely have to be a low profile focuser or does a normal crayford focuser do an ok job in some situations without the moving of the primary mirror?

Thanks for all your help everyone! I'm loving this forum!
