Kev and Les, thanks for your opinions, I did say LB but any commerical Dob with a GSO 16" was applicable.
I remeber looking at M42 in a 12" GSO a while back and was very impressed with the view, those whisps of nebula were stunning. Also at the Sombrero and the dust lane was quite prominant. (The first time I used an aperture of this size for a number of years). I would imagine a 16" is another step up again.
I'm glad we have some visual observers here.

i to like looking at the M 42 it amazing though a 16"compared to my 10".
as to looking objects at the horizon my collimation does not get affected.
