Which MOAG???
This is an interesting thread as I am currently debating over which OAG to get. I'm pretty sure I want an Astrodon because of the build quality but I am not sure whether I should get the MOAG or the MMOAG. Currently running a C11 OTA with a 2.5 inch Moonlite focuser.
I've read all I can about the two versions, but cant decide conclusively. It seems the MOAG stand alone comes with a more adaptors than the MMOAG for playing around with the spacing of components. At this point, I gather that the back focus on my C11 will not pose a problem in focusing with the HF, but I may get issues when I upgrade imagers in the future, and perhaps swap OTA's to a RC. I am leaning towards an SBIG ST-8300 but not sure yet. I doubt I'll get up to the massive CCD set-ups but then, the price is always coming down....
Question is, does the extra diameter of the MMOAG and shorter profile make significant difference compared to the MOAG and does the MMOAG provide more in terms of future proofing? I'd appreciate any feedback.
