not sure that i am actually stepping up, so to speak.
the problem with the DOB for me was that i have limited physical space, and the result was that i didnt use the DOB as much as i would have liked. it was just a nuisance to get out quickly and set up. so i acknowledge that ideally the DOB would be the way to go. But for me, it just did not work.
that is why i am leaning towards the C5/G5, or maybe the Skywatcher BD 127mak.
they seem to be compact, easy to set up, and the reviews of each of these in particular seem to be very good. to be honest, i have not come across as many reviews for the Skywatcher.
the refractors seems to be highly recommended here, that is why i have listed the 102mm and 120mm which i can buy at York here in Brisbane.
just looking for advise from users of these telescopes.
am grateful for the help i have received to date. it is a big learning curve. IIS has been a big help to me.
thanks
janine
