Hi all,
Thank you all for your replies!!!! (Thanks for the welcome all well!)
Just from the responses I got, and from the material I have read from the web, I am now slightly tending towards the Celestron 9.25. What Robby said seems to be a consistant opinion throughout the web. I have also heard that the celestron 9.25 out perferomed a C11 on one occasion. Sounds like a really good piece of equipment. However I have heard that Celestron have now been taken over a few months ago, and I wonder if that would affect the quality of the instruments they produce?
Iddon - I am with you on the ease of the goto without having to memorise the star charts. This was the original ideal behind going for the CGC or LX. However I like Janokiss' notion of just having to point and look without the aligments.
I find that now I am considering a third option and that is the DOB!! It's ease of setup and about 1/5 of the price of what I was planning to get.
Just how mobile is the 10' dob?
(I think I will post a new thread on the forum regarding the mobility and ease of use of the dob....)
hmm, decisions decisions.
BTW Iceman- I am in (or what most people consider) western Sydney, Central Coast is probably abit far for me but thanks for the offer.
