hi everyone,
I am in a similar situation; looking for a large dob to give me the visual thrill that I lost with my 6" since I started AP.
When I understand right than the majority is rather against a 16" factory dob for various reasons especially collimation. Is it then better to go with a 12" GSO (non truss design)?
I am after a large scope that lives in the kitchen near the terrace door (2m roll in/out), that is ready in a minute (apart from cooling), easy to use and offers views of galaxies and nebulae similar to pictures of it.
I was leaning towards the 16" lightbridge but donīt feel like collimating primary and secondary everytime Im gonna use it. Or is it just not the right tool for imaging but otherwise planets look fine (maybe with a barlow)?
any comments greatly appreciated.
