Thanks everyone.

I know this is stating the bleeding obvious, but the quality of the mirrors is paramount. All other attributes and add-on accessories are important and nice, but it's all a waste of time and money if the mirrors are below the level of quality you can afford.

If a good quality 10" mirror is able to perform as good/better than say a 12" mass produce mirror I would choose the 10. A 10" is big and heavy enough for a portable telescope thank you.

So my next major expense is going to be a new set of mirrors, as soon as I can manage to sort out the best way to acquire the best mirror for my scope that I can afford.

Regards
Richard
