I guess expense is a relative thing. My Andrew's is the heaviest EP I have in terms of mass AND moolah. Brian started the thread looking for an EP for a Dob that "was a fair bit more expensive" than his "$50 Ebay nasty". He might consider a $400 EP overcapitalisation.
After re-reading the opening post, Brian did ask if his 1200mm FL Dob was suitable for DSO's. What's it's apperture Brian? I reckon my first suggestion (the Andrew's 80 deg, 2") is a pearler for DS. May be not so much for detail, but definitely for getting to know the sky.
My only issue for using a scope for orientation is the inside-out, upside-down and back-to-frontedness that mirrors and lenses cause. I reckon the Eric's signature suggests he agrees that binoculars are just about the best tool for learning where everything is.
Mike.
