Wouldn't that be nice?
The problem is I never had a chance to look through this scopes side by side. I had 102mm SW refractor before, and my 12" Bintel dob, but that was not fair comparision. But 150mm would be nice to compare and according to Duncan who receantly bought it, it is much better for planets and Moon than 12" Dob.
I read somewhere on the web that refractor should never win against reflector and it usualy does for planets 'cos reflectors mirrors are not of higher quality. Premium mirrors would always win according to this mirror maker.
