Hi Guys,
I know this question has been rehashed a thousand and one times but I will still go ahead and ask anyway. I currently own a C6 Celestron/Vixen 6" f/5. It has a rather good mirror and I have been getting great views (major globs beautifully resolved...and this scope does not have diffraction spikes : ) But I have the aperture itch and may have an opportunity to get an 8" dob from Andrew's (if I sell my 4"ST OTA...any takers
Now I know some of you may say go to a local club and compare. I have looked though a couple of 8" (not that many...there seems to be an overabundance of 10" and 12" dobs but not that many 6" and 8") but not enough to make an informed judgement since they were very brief views. So the question is will it be worth the upgrade????? Can you also give me specific examples of objects and how they look through an 8" in comparison to say a 6". Do you think it will be wiser of me to save a little bit more (might be about a year before I can get the 10") and go for the 10"
Help me decide if i should just stick with my C6 for now and upgrade later (and in the process keep my 4" ST as well
Thanks guys.
Darren
