Have to agree with Thiink on the refractor ..
had a bit of a shootout between our club 6" refractor (skywatcher), LX90 8" & my 10" Dob.
The Dob won out most times, but if we had some keen astrophotographers, the refractor on a pier & EQ mount would prove its worth.
The DSO images are the best with the refractor, to much chromatic aberation on the planets with the refractor, even with a minus violet filter.
The Dob won hands down on views of Mars at 1pm this morning.
