I was originally thinking this, simply because it will take up less space in my bedroom. it has to sit between my bed and the wall where there is only a little over a metre space.

But after checking the quality of images from that silly simulator site, I didn't seem to see anything and figured I needed to avoid the shorter scopes. Will there be any noticeable difference with using a shorter scope?

I live pretty close to the centre of Sydney so light polution may be a slight issue. However I plan to go to the Hunter Valley and take my scope with me. (Also heading to Tasmania soon if things go to plan where I hope viewing will be good).

What filters are best for the moon/Sun ?

Thanks again, wonderful response.
