I started running for the hills half-way through the article on modifying the Celestron 127mm! It really didn't stack up given the issues people had.
To cut a long story short, I'd decided on a basic dob, but given I want to look at terrestrial objects too, the specialist I went to suggested a Saxon refractor 909EQ which I bought.
Putting it together last night was fun: the thing weighs alot and looks like a pretty solid piece of kit. Terrestrial objects come up really well - even in the hazy weather we had yesterday.
I'm still getting used to the EQ mount - which I don't mind fiddling with at all, so this weekend the thing will get a proper test-drive on the night sky and I'll report back.
