thanks for that, but i think the G5 or Mak 127 will in fact be more suitable for me as a grab and go scope.
i have read reviews, seen them at the shop, and am leaning in that direction as oppossed to the refractors.
i have sold the DOB, dont really feel i keep needing to explain that decision....what i want is something that is easy to set up and will in fact give me good optics...i was seeking help to do that...telling me i am stepping backwards really is not helpful to me....
brendan was helpful in suggesting that for me the way to go is probably the celestron C5/G5 route, which i tend to agree with....from what i have heard these are able to use a camera tripod which would allow me to set it up quickly for quick looks...and the proper mount can be set up for more organised, longer nights...
any suggestions are very welcome
