Wow, it sounds like two things are prevalent in astronomy. First, that alot of people have bad viewing from their house, and secondly, many people give up because of it. Well, at least that's what I am inferring from the advice given so far. Some things however just make your resolve stronger, and this is one of those cases for me. I think that I couldn't be bothered with using tents or domes or the likes - I think I'll just drive away from all that as per advice given a while ago ! Seems logical. And, all the while I've been on this forum, the viewing has been absolutely *nothing* like it was the week leading up to actually buying my scope. Can't help but "see" the irony in that !
It's funny, all the while I am stuck inside because I can't be outside with the scope, I am reading up on what I would buy next.... Seems like an 10" LX90 or 8" LX200, but that'll be a short while away yet since I have to figure out what to do with the eyepieces for my Dob.
The chap that sold me the scope has viewing nights at his place and I think I'll call up to see if I can book in to have a look at some of his Siebert stuff. It seems a little odd however that these EP are claimed to perform really well in comparison to TeleVue gear, but the price is much much less. I read, repeatedly, that as a general rule the more you pay the better the optics, so what about Siebert gear ? Are they really a bargain, or again a case of you get what you pay for meaning Vixen LVW will be much better, etc? Anyone care to comment?
