Hi,
I have been tinkering around with my 10inch dob mounted on a EQ6 mount for the past couple of years and have decided its time to upgrade the tube.
After a bit of saving, I now have enough to go one of two ways, I could either go for a 10" Meade LX 200 with mount, or go the larger 12" OTA and continue with my current EQ6 mount.
I plan to piggyback an ED80 either way I go for photography, however still enjoy old fashioned viewing of DSO's (hence the 'want' for the larger aperature).
So cutting to the chase, is there any particular benefit to going one way or the other?
I would obviously prefer a mount that is well balanced and accurate, however I would also appreciate the visual benefits of a larger aperature.
And this is the point I have been stuck at for weeks
Thanks for any help or suggestions
