Hi all, once I complete the H-400 I will be moving onto a new observing project which is to replicate what John Herschel was seeing while in South Africa. His primary telescope was a 20 foot f/l, 18" metal mirror with a reflectivity of 67% on a good day.
I have been narrowing down the options and two mass produced scopes are leading the pack; a 16" Meade Lightbridge and the 14" intel from Orion.
I live in the Philippines so bringing in spare parts or needed upgrades is expensive.
Anyone care to voice a preference
?
