Hey thanks for the links DPretorius. That really gave an idea of how apeture size can make a difference!
At this stage, I don't have the luxury of a laptop to to link it up and my backyard is grassy and very sloping.....
I would like to get a 12' but it may be too large and inconvienient for me I think, I can see from that almost everyone that responded mounts the dobs on a hand trolley.
So IDEALLY a dob should be mounted on a hand trolley.... this would have to be a downer for me as my backyard is full of grassy slopes. Would travelling through rough terain knock the collimation out? (I guess the question is how easy is it for the collimation to go ajar from slopes? - anyone?)
P.S The trill of hunting down a star sounds like fun
